I was on the Windows Marketplace website and I clicked the Office 2007 link for the hell of it. Once the little comparison chart came up I clicked the "Ultimate" version of Office 2007 and my jaw quickly dropped 5 feet to the ground. $679.95!!! Now, I have used Office 2007 Enterprise before from extensive Googleing on the internet but I don't think it has a marked price. But still, this is un freaking believable!

It's hard for me to believe that they are charging that much for that and it is even harder to believe that people feel they have to pay that price for software to do simple office tasks.

Microsoft slaves.

no home user needs all the feature of Ultimate. for him, Home or Standard would do just fine

This. Also ultimate desent even provide many useful features over the standard. Still $150 for office software is just ridiculous.
