A little known fact. You can actually buy and download Office 2007 direct from Microsoft.
There are two different ways to accomplish an online purchase of Office 2007:
1) Try & Buy – My recommendation would be to try Office 2007 before you purchase. The user interfeace is different, but is nice to work with once you have become acquianted with it. Overall, I have found Office to be a valuable upgrade. But, you may want to give it a go before making a final decision.
To download a trial of Office 2007, you will want to go to Office Online. Here you can download a trial version, which includes the ability to purchase a license (online, from Microsoft) after the installation of the trial. No longer do you need to buy a physical copy and then find somewhere to store the box. Give it a try today!
2) Buy it Now! – If you’re ready to purchase without a trial then you can go direct to the Windows Marketplace to buy and then download.
I’m seeing more and more software become available for online purchase. I figured Microsoft would have done this long ago, but good to see they’re starting to offer this now. Who knows what may be next. I would suspect Office as a subcription service is coming soon.
