Surely price is not going to be long – I think they are doing this because Office 2010 would come soon & they want to sell 2007 off the stores as many as possible. As per 2010 & 2007 version it does not matter much both can read write .doc & .docx formats which is for example used to build a resume.

This means, nearly 4 months are there to buy & activate this product once, also a month more to get 2010 version

I think this is good option to buy, even better than buying Windows OS which will only get updates for a certain time, but office is like can-say forever

I think MS Office can work on Nokia E series too! This would mean you can work on same document from mobile and PC!

I was seeing for this small figure price since very long time, I even gave the price feedback to be near 2000Rs for Indian market to MS while filing bugs on 2010 office, dint expect would come true

Think of 1 license being used in 3 computers, for example, 3 guys buying one office product, i.e; 2190/3 = 730 Rs, this is like, for each guy, buying a relatively good shirt but for a life time! Sure you don’t need to run for software just to create a resume that would increase ur salary in lacs! with just a product less than a thousand. This way you can contribute to MS too, for building the super cool Windows 7 & Office 2010 like software.
