Hmmm It's not all good though:
- They have dropped Entourage from the home and student edition - if you want/need an MS mail client you need the more expensive Home & business edition (which includes Outlook) - BUT, I think the article is wrong regarding the installs numbers - whilst the top price home and student edition does include 3 installs, the top priced Home & business edition only covers 2 installs not 3. - MS have changed the installs enforcement - it used to be that this was only done on a network connection basis - you could actually install the software on as many of your computers as you wanted, it was only when 2 or more were connected to a network simultaneously that it checked that they were using different licences and otherwise shut you down on a duplicated licence. Now the have moved to an activation process - as used for Windows - with all of the hasssle involved if you change computers and need to re-activate the new computer/hardware set-up. Bugger!
