I can buy from this guy I know office enterprise 2007, either on CD or DVD - I asked him what the difference is, and he told me they're both the same. They're authenticate genuine microsoft products too? He sent me a pic, said that if I had a cd drive then obviously I needed only the CD version... What get's me though is, if they're identical, what would be the point of Microsoft releasing it on DVD as well? I mean, if they hold the exact same image why need a DVD version seeing as all DVD drives can read CD's anyway? I smell a rat - Unless of course the man's wrong and there IS a difference - I'm guessing if this is all legit the DVD version has audio/vidoe guides or tutorials or some other useless crap on it hence the need for bigger storage media - but that's what I'm here to find out. So, any ideas?

Well for me they are just the same. But I think there is some a little bit of twist on the DVD type. You never know till you buy it. This is just a guest but try it there must be some upgrades on the DVD type installer that you need to download if you have the CD-rom type of installer. Like for example more font types, more backgrounds for the PPT. Sorry I don't really have the DVD type installer. I just really like to share some of my Ideas.

This guy you know? Is he a Microsoft Certified Reseller? Where did HE get these install disks? You'll still need to activate them after the install. EEOC

I dunno, he's just some guy off eBay.
