@nanotm I know nothing about the program, but purchasing once every 3 years vs 12 months isn't a big deal for most users. If I bought Office 2007 in the first half of 2007, why would I buy another copy before 3 years are up? Yes, there may be 1/100 that have more than 3 personal computers for home use that they want to install a copy of Office on, but I doubt it. And if this is for the kids, there have been plenty of deals for Office 2007 Ultimate for 30 or 40 bucks.
So short of that, 3 years pass and you think, hmm....maybe I'll get that office 2010 when it comes out....which was a month or so back, I think. OS Purchase? Pretty much the same thing, unless these are OEM licenses, and even then you can work around it in most case.
