With Office 2007 & 2010 Microsoft has decided to no longer include a CD with the OEM version. The only version of Office 2007 that includes CD media is the retail version, which costs more then the OEM.

In addition to to the Media Retail copies of Microsoft Office allow it to be installed on more then 1 System.   With Home & Business and Professional you can install 1 license on up to 2 Computers and Home & Student up to 3 Computers.    OEM Copies can only be installed on 1 computer.    

You can order your Microsoft Office 2007/2010 CDs by going to :

• Go to http://www.microsoft.com/office/backup to receive backup media directly from Microsoft. You will only have to pay Microsoft a minimal fee for shipping and handling.
• Beginning later this Spring, you will be able to download a copy of the media from Microsoft.com

Also, in a special program sponsored by Microsoft all Xotic PC Laptops will include Microsoft Office Ready 2007 60 Day Trial. If you decide you want to keep using it or switch to Office 2007 Basic or Small Business Edition, you may purchase it through Xotic PC at a considerable savings rather than purchasing it online directly through Microsoft.
