Hi Bob,
Yes, that is a valid qualifying product for an upgrade edition of MS Office 2007, retail.
=================
Let me get this straight: If someone has Office XP Professional
(checking...) uh-oh--Academic Edition installed...
That probably doesn't qualify, right?

Hi Bob,
This page shows the 2007 Office system upgrade availability and the qualifying products for upgrade when you purchase a *retail*
2007 Office System product.
In addition to the 'any' prior Office version being a qualifying product, note that for the 2007 Office system, note that
'crossgrades', (adding additional 2007 Office system suites or product upgrades), are supported for the first time. Installed 2007
Office system suites will be valid qualifiers for buying another 2007 Office system product upgrade package. So, as I understand
it, if your new computer comes with Microsoft Office Basic 2007 and you later need the apps in MS Office Professional 2007, you
should be able to install Office 2007 Professional edition upgrade or the individual 2007 app upgrades.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suites/FX101754511033.aspx
Note that the Home and Student editions themselves do not have separate 'full' and 'upgrade' package pricing. They are already at
their 'low' pricing offering for everyone.

Well now that's really good news. My niece has been using the Academic
edition of Office XP and wants to upgrade to Office 2007 but she no longer
qualifies for the Academic. We were thinking we'd have to spring for the
full version but it looks like an upgrade will do.
Thanks.

I know that it doesn't specifically exclude academic or STE editions but I
strongly suspect that they will not qualify. I hope I'm wrong for your
niece's sake but I'd start my money if I was her, just in case.

Academic editions are just Office Pro sold at a lower prices through the institutions. There is nothing to differentiate them from the full retail Professional version except for the license.

JoAnn,
At present the 'any' on the upgrade eligibility when referring to prior Office versions as qualifying products is correct.
There are no upgrade versions of the academic or home/student/teachers editions, just special pricing of full package products (i.e.
ones that don't look for a qualifying product to upgrade).
===========
I know but I thought I read that academic versions were not eligible for
upgrades.

Hi Joe,
I may be missing a point that you made earlier, but my understanding was that you were looking to add MS Access 2003 to an existing
Office 2003 installation? If so, then the Student and Teacher's Edition wouldn't help. It's MS Office 2003 Standard Edition with a
different license, so Access would not be included and the
MS Office Access 2003 standalone upgrade would not work, as it requires a pre-2003 version of MS Office (although MS Works would be
accepted, if that came on your PC) as the qualifier for an upgrade.
When the 2007 Office system products come out on the shelves in early 2007 upgrade packages and crossgrades will be supported for
that product line.
===============
[snip]
In my case- when I got my Dell a few years ago, I mistakenly ordered Office
Standard when I should have gotten Office Pro, so I didn't get Access- until
I needed it and realized my mistake. At Staples, the full UPGRADE version of
Access is something like $200 while the student/teacher edition is half
that. That's absurdly expensive, considering I have a legit copy of Office
2003. I need Access but I feel gouged if I decide to buy a legit copy of the
Access upgrade. Almost enough to "rip them off" by getting a
student/teacher edition, but I keep wondering if I'd get caught.
