If you’re considering an microsoft project

2010 upgrade, be sure you learn the lesson of
href="http://www.project2010store.com/">project professional 2010! Microsoft offers its

best prices to early adopters! Those who wait pay more!

Here’s a recap of what you could have taken advantage of last summer, after
href="http://www.project2010store.com/">ms project 2010 was released to manufacturing but

before it was available for retail sales! Microsoft offered “screaming deals” on

renovations —a pure $50 for Windows 7 Home Premium and $100 for Windows 7 Professional!

There was also a three-license Family Pack of Home Premium for $149 that had sell outs about

six weeks after the retail launch date, and a special $30 upgrade offer for young people

ended around the beginning of the year!

None of those deals have been repeated! Those who waited paid more! The current prices for

retail upgrade versions of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional at Newegg! com are $110

and $176, respectively!

So what’s the best price you can get now on Office 2010? The biggest wrinkle, as i noted in

my Prices, packaging, dates, and other details post, is that Microsoft has dropped upgrade

prices completely! One price fits all in the office 2010 era! So the challenge now is to seek

out the best current price and then decide whether you’ll be able to do better!

Your best friend in this process is the Office 2010 Technology Guarantee program, which

qualifies you for a free update to Office 2010 if you buy Office 2007 today! There are some

great deals to be found there because of some quirks in the passage to the new line-up! (With

Office 2010, Microsoft has dropped the ultimate and Enterprise editions and the OEM-only

Basic edition! As a result, the upgrade matrix has some interesting bargains! )#) I’ll get

to the rules and rules of the Tech Guarantee program on the next page, but first, here’s how

to shop smart!

Update: In the Talkback section, a reader points out the “Military Appreciation” edition of

Office Standard 2007, which costs $70 and can be upgraded free via the Technology Guarantee

to Office Home and Business 2010! More details are here!

If you buy a retail copy of Office Home and Student 2007, you qualify for an upgrade to the

equivalent version of Office 2010, which can be installed on up to three Pcs in a household!

I’ve seen sub-$100 prices on the 2007 version in the past, but the best I can find today is

$120 from Newegg! (And that’s for the full edition; the current Home and Student lineup does

not support renovations! )#) That’s a discount of 33%! And don’t be hoodwinked by the

discount on the key card! It is not a good deal That key card is good for only one

installation, whereas the retail box permits three sets up!
