I have the option of buying office 2007 for a few hundred off my system admin. he says I can either have a cd version, or the dvd version. He wants a lot more for the dvd, something about the key being more expensive or whatever. Anyway I asked him aside from the fact they're on different media what the difference was. He has no idea. Couldn't find anything on microsoft support so asking here. Does the dvd have more programs on it or something?

What are the prices he's asking? Is he doing this on the side, or is he selling this through work? If through work does your company have a site license? Sounds a little fishy to me. Life's more painless for the brainless.

Hell I don't know. Fishy or not it was one of those offers I just couldn't refuse, I mean I can get ultimate for 400 bucks retail which is way out of my price range and there's a **** load of other different types too which aren't exactly cheap. And since our implementation at work now started using docx instead of plain old doc I'd need a convector when I do my reports at home (which I do all the time), and apart from that website that isn't free anymore I figured getting 2007 to replace my ageing office 2000 would be handy enough. But as I say, its either cd or the dvd, and because he's only on the tech side of things (he does installation but is no software genius) so couldn't tell me if there actually is a difference between a cd and dvd version. I just figured if there's a dvd version it must have more with it, and thus if there was a cd version, there'd be more than one disc. But he says there's only one disc that he knows of. Unless its some kind of custom job they used for the workstations (because a lot of ours don't have dvd drives).

NO ONE knows the difference then?
