Need Help on MS Office 2007

dannypatrick33 · 19th Feb 2009, 09:56 PM

Hey guys!!

I got this new laptop which came installed with the trial version of Microsoft office 2007 and is going to expire soon. Now I am planning to buy one.
While surfing on the internet I came across two versions: Standard and Ultimate. What is the difference between the two apart from their price? Forgive me guys; I am not a computer savvy.
Also can anyone suggest me some vendors who are selling this product for good deal.

Depends what your using it for.
Basic should be fine for home and school/uni work.

If your just using to for the od thing, basic should be fine.

Microsoft seems to be promoting Office Home and Student. This seems to be ok for most students, but if you need MS Outlook, then this is not a suitable version. If MS Outlook is not needed, then I suggest you to get this one as it has Excel, Powerpoint, Word + OneNote which are what most people need.

Do you actually use OneNote?

There was a student package during PC Fair, you pay a small price for three license, can't remember the price though
