I don't think I really understand MS' licensing approach to this one. There are three of us in my household - me, my wife, and our adult daughter who is back home while she's at Uni doing nursing qualification. Note that she is a registered University student. We're all Mac users - Lombard, Pismo & 12" AiBook.

As far as I understand it, we can buy *one copy* of the new version of Office which will be valid for all three of us.... We may have to take my daughter with us to do so, so she can flash her current Uni registration card, but that's all. Yet if she weren't at university then it would cost over �1200 to put ourselves in the same position.

I can understand why MS might do this for the actual student, but I'm puzzled as to why they extend the license to others in the household..

Not that I'm complaining, of course.

Saw the product on the shelf today in PC World Bristol (Cribbs).

Price: � 119

Product in the box and no proof required at the cash (whether you are
entitled or not!)...Good for three licenses (same household).

Cheers,
