PS, Just automatically renewed last month for another year - same price.

I think you are right for Personal, but I would prefer to have it on all of my machines, desktop, laptop, tablet and phone if possible and that's a bit more expensive...not a lot mind you, but....
where I'm coming from is with Office 2010 that I got through the Corporate Employee purchase for $10 and I've been using it for about 5 years now...
I guess bottom line is it's really only Word (and maybe Excel) that I need and only because of compatibility, but may try to keep limping along on one copy of Word 2010 on my desktop til my books hit the bestseller lists or I win the lotto.
