Office Home and Student 2007 - multiple PCs in the UK?

[Paul Speller]

I've done a search and I can see that several people have checked on this
group (and had confirmed) that the Office Home and Student edition 2007 can
be installed on three PCs in one household, which is great news.

However, I'm in the UK, and I also thought that the Windows Vista Family
Discount was great news, until I learned that Microsoft were going to
discriminate against everyone outside North America by denying us access to a
fair-minded multi-user home licensing scheme.

So I wanted to check in the light of this that the Home and Student three-PC
licence does apply in the UK as well, before I buy it. Can anyone confirm
this?

Thanks very much,

Thanks for the tip, but that took me to a page with no e-mail addresses on
it and only a premium-rate telephone number (0870).

I then worked my way through a series of pages to contact support online,
and was presented with the chance to start a 90-day free support period,
after which I would have to pay 40GBP if I needed to contact them again. I
don't want to start a one-off 90-day trial now when I may not even buy the
product until much later in those 90 days, let alone experience any actual
issues with the product that might need support.

This all seems very disappointing to me - not a good way to encourage people
to become customers, by hiding product information and providing no adequate
way to obtain it to inform a purchase decision

Is there no Microsoft presales information e-mail address or anything? Or
even just an online copy of the UK EULA for Office Home and Student 2007?

No EULAs online yet. (I just searched last night.) And acturally, they are
renaming them. They are now called "Microsoft Software License Terms".
