    I’m considering buying a Toshiba Satellite laptop model number L305-S5875 from Best Buy. The laptop has Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 loaded onto it. It also has a 60 day trial version of MS Office Professional 2007. I use MS Office quite frequently (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.) The retailer sells the MS Office Small Business Upgrade 2007 for $129.99. Question: Will the MS Office Small Business Upgrade work with the 60 day trial version to get me the permanent FULL version of MS Office Small Business? (Other software on the laptop, at the time of purchase, includes MS Works 9.0.)

    Do I still have to spend over $250.00 for the FULL version of MS Office Small Business? (I don’t want to use MS Office Home and Student 2007 offered by the retailer for $99.99 because it does not include Outlook.)

    Please help.
    Thank you.
    :confused:
