Free Office 2010 Upgrades for New Office 2007 Customers
Remember when Microsoft was getting ready to release Windows 7 last year? Microsoft knew that people might put off their purchase for when Windows 7 would be rolled out; so it launched the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program. Basically, Microsoft said that if you purchase a qualifying Vista version, you could upgrade to Windows 7 free of charge once the operating system is launched. Buy Vista Home Premium, and upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium once it reaches GA (General Availability) status.
As the development process of Office 2010 is moving forward (Office 2010 Beta downloads went live back in November) and we’re getting closer and closer to the release of a final, stable version of the productivity suite, Microsoft is doing with Office 2010 the same thing it did with Windows 7. Microsoft announced that if you purchase Office 2007 between March 5th and September 30th, you qualify for a free Office 2010 upgrade – when the productivity suite is released to the market of course (expected to happen this June).
The available upgrade paths are:
You must purchase a qualifying Office 2007 product only from an authorized reseller, and you must comply with some eligibility requirements. Everything you need to know about this offer is nicely put together on the Tech Guarantee site here.
Here’s something you might find amusing: Microsoft capped the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program to 25 free upgrades and it is doing the same with Office 2010. You get one Office 2010 upgrade for one Office 2007 purchase, but no more than 25 per person.
If you’re going to wait it out and purchase Office 2010 once it is released to the public, here is how much you can expect to pay for the productivity suite:
Full Packaged Product Pricing
