    Cant seem to find anywhere else to ask this
    Looking for where to get best deals on genuine Office 2010 Pro or Home and Business, NOT student versions.

    Came across some that seemed too good to be true on line and they werent:(

    Previously saw some 3 license Pro for a decent price but seems to be gone.

    Any suggestions?

    Is OEM the cheapest way?

    If you need Home & Business/Pro then it looks like ~£180 is the cheapest you can get it for (based on a quick look around at online shops I'd be willing to trust).

    OEM versions are only a legitimate purchase if you're a system builder selling the computers you build.

    Yes came across some dodgy sites - some look kosher but turn out to be konner.

    Actually my reference to OEM was more along the lines of price as included with laptop, instead of bought separately.

    There is a significant difference in price between Pro with media and Pro - key for preinstalled trial. Can the trial be obtained or is this an OEM thing.

    Any idea of the price breaks for upgrade from 2007?
    What about multiple licenses?

    for enterprise licensing your best bet is to go to microsoft's site and see if you can fanangle a deal together.

    Not sure if the OEM trial can be found, as it's specifically a strange version of Office 2010 Starter: it never expires but has stripped down versions of Word and Excel. As in, it won't even spellcheck. Then you punch in your PKC card info and turn it into the full and proper edition of whatever you purchased.
