Service Desk editions of Office 2007

I recently purchased a copy of MS Office Home and Student 2007 and when I
brought it home and unwrapped it, I noticed that I'd been given the Service
Desk edition - is there any different to the regular H&S edition? or should I
return it to the shop? - I haven't broken the seal yet.

I purchased a copy of the Service Desk edition from a closing CompUSA. My
question is this; did I get hosed here? Can I install it on my machines (main
pc and laptop) and use it like a copy of Office, or should I try to get
another copy? What sucks is the CompUSA is closing, and they will not help
any at all. I've already called them and talked to them about it, and they
said they "couldn't do anything"

I've since read somewhere that the only difference is the packaging. It
takes up less room than the fancy-schmancy case. Please keep in mind that I
did NOT read this anywhere official but that does make some sense.

Thanks.

An FYI, I talked to a customer service rep, and she told me that there was
no reference to this package in her database. She gave me a number to the
sales department, but they are closed during the weekend.

There seem to be a few copies of this edition on eBay auctions in the UK.
From the pictures, the packaging looks to be a standard DVD type case, with
the extra text "service edition" on the front, otherwise it looks to be the
same as the normal S&H edition.
