Hi Warren, It took me a good ten minutes to decode your email, but I've managed :-)
Legally speaking, you can use Windows 7 Home Premium in an office. There is nothing in the EULA which prevents this. Windows 7 HP has the following missing features compared to Pro: * Ability to connect to a domain * Windows XP compatibility mode * Backup & Restore http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/compare If anything, it might be agency/company policy to only use pro, but there is no legal limitation.
