Precisely correct. I don't need or want Exchange capabilities (and I don't need/want Messenger, and I also don't need a family pack -- all I need is single-user Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook). Further, under the current offer, how do we know that buying Office 2008 with a "free" upgrade to Office 2011 is actually a deal, when we don't know what the price for Office 2011 will be?? This is surely an MS attempt at a last minute boost to Office 2008 sales, and to also tout a high volume of initial Office 2011 orders, but is this offer of any real value to end-users?? Will Office 2011 on its own cost more or less than this offer?? Also, does anyone know if Outlook might be offered as a standalone app??
