Office 2003 Student/Teacher vs Office 2007 Upgrade

[msgivnz]

Hi,
I bought my laptop from circuit city and it had a 60-day trial of Office
2003 student/teacher edition. I'm neither a student nor a teacher so the
trial ends, i click the "purchase a key" button and get a message to purchase
the $239 office 2003 standard edition.
Costco is selling Office 2007 standard edition - upgrade for $198. Can I
install the upgrade version or do I have to purchase 2007 standard for $400?

Trial versions do not qualify for an upgrade - and your best options for an Office package are from amazon.com with free shipping.

Hello,

Yes, I successfully did the upgrade to Office 2007 from the Student/Teacher version of Office 2003. It works great and you'll absolutely LOVE the new look!
