But you don't own Office. You own a license to use Office. I can't comment on the price as I haven't looked at upgrade costs, nor what you get for that.

>True, but that wasn't my point. I don't like it when someone wants $300 or so for an upgrade to a product I already own (legally). That's a little pricey IMO. The pricing is Microsoft's prerogative, of course -- just as it's mine to pass.
