Office 2004 Student edition upgrade to 2008

[cferland]

Hello,

if I buy the Mac Office 2004 Student & Teacher edition it has all the
stuff I need including Entourage with MS Exchange Server support.

I noticed that the Office 2008 Home & Student edition dosen't have the
MS Exchange Server support, only in the standard edition.

Does this mean that if I upgrade to Office 2008, I will get the Home &
Student edition (without MS Exchange support) or will the upgrade path
cover all the existing features of 2004?

Thanks,

Charles

Hi Charles!

If you live in the U.S. or Canada then now is the time to buy Office
2004 Student & Teacher edition because Microsoft has just announced a
great upgrade deal.

Have a look at this page
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/supersuitedeal/> on
Microsoft's site about their Super Suite Deal.

"When you buy Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Standard Edition, Office
2004 for Mac Standard Edition Upgrade, or Office 2004 for Mac Student
and Teacher Edition, we’ll send you Office 2008 for Mac Special Media
Edition (a $500 value) for FREE* - you only pay shipping and handling."

That means you'll get versions of Office 2004 and Office 2008 that
support Exchange.

For both products you'll probably pay less than $175.00 total.

Hope this helps!

Can anyone tell me what upgrade options/"incentives" are/will be available to
individuals who purchased the Teachers' and Students' edition of Office 2004
in December of 2006?

All purchased products before the offers would be eligible for the regular
upgrade price. The Student & Teacher version has no upgrade if I remember
correctly since it is priced so low to start with.

Even though you own Office 2004 ST, the incentive prices offered might make
it worthwhile to buy the full version of Office now if you find it at a good
price. That will be cheaper than buying the full Office 2008 version to get
Exchange support.

Ifyou choose to go that route, you could also see if there is another copy
of Office 2004 Student & Teacher Edition, as you can use either offer to get
Office 2008 Home & Student Edition
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/> or Office 2008 Special Media
