Looks nice. I like the way they use the large graphic in differentiating the versions.

Are the two on the left new versions?  As in there are not 2007 versions of them today?

It blows my mind that this is considered newsworthy. Packaged software is dead - Microsoft just doesn't realize it yet...

Trend Micro uses packaged software. Symantec uses packaged software. Heck, even Apple uses packaged software (See Snow Leopard).

Download speeds vary, so some may have to wait hours after paying to download as opposed to just going out and purchasing the box. So packaging still has its merits.

The recent This Week In Google podcast had a interesting take on these packages...from the mouth of several professional writers.

Also some people like to have actual physical media.

That's why packaged software isn't dead.

So I guess those two versions on the left are new.  When will Microsoft learn that many versions, many changing versions is just confusing as hell for consumers.

They are marketed to different segments; so I don't think it will be that confusing at all.

Those left 2 are not new at all, maybe named weird but that happens. The top left one fills the spot of Office Standard and Office Small Business, taking 2 spots.

And the Bottom left one, well as you can see it isn't for the consumer at all, it is for Schools, and Universities.

@redunion:

Office Pro Academic isn't new.  Consumers can buy this for non-commercial, educational use at retail, usually only through educational resellers.

Office Home & Business IS new though.  Office Standard never included OneNote in the past, and Small Business always includes Publisher.

What's curious is that Office 2010 Standard will be available only via volume license, and it looks to replace Small Business, by adding Publisher, albeit it also contains OneNote.

I haven't heard anything about OEM versions, aside from the fact that Starter is OEM only.  Perhaps there will be a Standard/Small Business version in the OEM channels.  I gather that there will be a more extensive OEM offering for business customers.  Starter is targetted to consumers only.  I would expect that there will be a Professional trial for business machines that unlocks to various OEM subversions upon purchase of a medialess license kit key ala Office 2007.  That being said, Microsoft may offer partner resellers kickbacks on volume license signups instead.  There's a real possibility that they'll implement OEM bundling for business machines this way instead of the MLK's.  There has always been a lot of confusion over the sale and use of MLK's.  They've had kickback programs in the past.  Their current Office 2007 program allows end users to purchase licenses through the Activation Assistant that comes on Office Ready PC's, and the customers can purchase directly from Microsoft, but the OEM that included the software will receive a kickback for the sale.  Here's a good one that's made us a lot of money, and allowed the customer to save a lot:

Since there's no other place to ask, I'll do so here.

Last Super Site News said the "what I use" page was updated.  Apparently the Zune HD is out and the iPod Touch is back in.  So what happened to the Zune?  Paul's initial review of it was very detailed and clearly he liked the device then.  Did the OLED screen not live up to continued use in non-pitch black rooms?  Was the Zune Pass not worth it in the end?  Did the lack of apps for the device make it too limited as just a media player?
