Hi,

I have noticed that there are differing editions of Microsoft Home 2007. I have seen one with a listed date of 01/07 and the model number 79G-00007 and one with a date of 07/09 and a model number of MSO79G-01153. I understand that the first one can have 3 PCs on the license I am not sure of the later. Is there any significance to one over the other. There is about a $50-60.00 difference in price.

Thanks,
Katie

No these are not on any machine at the moment. I purchased a laptop for my mother's birthday and she wants office put on it. (No openoffice for her.) I was looking around for price comparisons on the home and student version. I noticed for example, if you go into the tech specs you can see the model number there. The older one (jan 07) as I said is cheaper and allows for 3 pcs. The newer one is (jul 09) and I am not sure on the number of pcs. I tried the ususal places, amazon, new egg, staples, etc....The model was avail to be seen at all sites. So again just confused -- were there fixes, updates, addons etc... from one version to the other? Or is there really no difference? Thanks again for any insight.
