Number of CDs with Office v.X Professional

[Abraxsis]

My school recently signed some sort of contracts with MS and are
offering Office 2003 Pro and Windows XP Pro for 65.00 each. They are
also offering what is supposedly Office x.V Professional for 65.00
also. This "setup" doesnt have retail packaging and only includes 1
CD. The sales person in our on site computer store is mostly clueless
about the products she sells and assures me that the Office v.X
Professional IS in fact the newest version bundled with VPC and Win
XP. So I guess my question is this ... For those of you that have
purchased the retail version of Office v.X Professional, how many CDs
came in the box? Was everything bundled onto one CD? Size-wise I
realize that it might be possible to bundle both onto a single CD, but
seeing there is no returns on open software I'd like to be sure.
Thanks in advance for those who post.

This doesn't address the VPC issue, but the "setup" is not so sketchy as it
seems, and I think is not uncommon, although the school has to have made a
special deal. And lets you get a far cheaper price, the academic price for
a boxed version of Office is much higher.

I bought my Office 2001 through a college at a bargain price under the same
setup. One CD, in a practically generic looking jewel case, but with the
all important yellow CD key sticker on the back and a few words stating
"Microsoft". No manual, no box, etc. CD is perfectly legit and identical to
the standard retail version, so far as I can tell, I've had no problems.
