MS license including buying in US for UK use

[Steve Campbell]

Two questions.

I intend buying a copy of Office 2007 Home/Student for our 3 PCs at home and
an individual copy of Outlook 2007 for my own workstation. Now the questions:

1/. I will be buying a new and very high spec PC sometime in March/April.
However, I'd like to install Office 2007 (as above) when it becomes available
end of Jan 2007. As far as I understand it will be ok to remove the copies
from my own machine and move them to the new PC in March as the software will
be full retail and not OEM. My old machine is being cannibalised.

Is this right? I can't afford to make mistakes.

2/. Given UK prices, that will be up to 58% more expensive than in the US,
are there any downsides to buying in the States for use back here in the UK?

Thanks for any help/enlightenment.

When I asked about buying in US I was told there was no problem
I'm in UK, and given UK pricing I've no intention of buying here

According to EULA I've read a retail version can be moved, as is now for
2003 version.

Great. Any recommended online stores? Thanks for replying.

Its a while since I ordered software from US, a number offer overseas
delivery options. I've not checked whether Amazon offers overseas delivery.
The few I recently checked were not currently taking orders for Office2007,
and some didnt have any pricing shown
Also, the last time I checked at HMRC, software was not subject to duties,
where as hardware is. The company delivering (Post Office/Courier) will,
apart from collecting the duty, impose a collection fee on this.
