Office 2007 Purchase/License Question

[ngenerator]

Does anyone know what the outcome would be for the following scenario?
I currently have the Windows 7 beta running on my computer and absolutely
HATE openoffice.org. I would love to go and get Office 2007, but I don't
want my one installation to be wasted on the beta. I want to be able to
install it today, then install the W7 RC in a month or two and have Office 07
again on it, then install the final version of W7 and put Office 07 on that
one. Will I need 3 different purchases of Office 2007 for this to work out
the way I want it, or will my one Product Key I receive work for all three
installations on the same computer?

PS. I am looking at the Home and Student Edition, the one for around 100usd

You can install as often you like/need on the same PC
Depending on the time between the installations you may have to use phone
activation

Home and Student retail is licensed for three concurrent installations (on
three computers at the same time) for non-commercial use and it doesn't
matter if you reinstall it on the same or different computers as long as you
don't go over the three concurrent installs. The only issue would be as DL
said, if you hit three installs within a certain period of time you may be
required to activate using the telephone activation method. That method is
usually painless and should be no problem to accomplish.
