In yet another attempt to get in on the mass spending that colleges do, Microsoft has changed the liscensing terms of the new Office 2003. And it is better, not worse! Amazing.
Quote
Under the new licensing scheme, anyone in a household with a qualifying teacher and student will be able to use the forthcoming version, Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003. Microsoft also plans to extend the license so that the product can be installed on up to three computers. In a third change, the license would not expire after a college student graduates. Finally, Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 would be upgradeable later to another version of the suite. Consumers who bought the similar XP version were not eligible to buy upgrades.
