    I'm also trying to purchase MS Office 2007.

    Question - is there any reason why I can't buy the Home/Office version and then buy MS Outlook 2007 separately? This will give me what I want and seems to be about £100 cheaper than buying the Small Business version.

    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    goodness me! What on earth are microsoft playing at? 8 Versions of office. half a dozen of Vista? I'd love to have been at that board meeting - "so what we need to do is have 8 versions of the same product" jeeze.

    Their product, they can charge what they want for it. If you don't want to pay then don't use it. I can't afford a Ferrari, doesn't give me more legitimacy to go out and steal one.
