I just bought the "Office Home and Student 2007" from Amazon online for $121.99. I didn't see any requirement that I prove anything. No form was included, and nothing on the website asked me to prove I'm a student when I registered it.  (Maybe that's why it's HOME and Student?)

One disadvantage with Office Home and Student 2007 is that it only includes: Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote - No Outlook (or Outlook Express, even.)  I didn't see this as a problem for me, since I sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts to the PC at work - which I HAVE to do - and I've never had any luck syncing to my Home PC too.  (I don't sync Profiler Mobile either, since I don't have Profiler on my work PC.  What I do is COPY from my home PC to my Pocket PC.  I lose some of the functionality of Profiler Mobile - such as moving between wish list and owned on the iPAQ, but it's worth it even without the syncing.

Amazon has Outlook 2007 for around $90 - so if I decide to add it, the total cost of getting Office 2007 on my PC would be about $200 "not an upgrade" - instead of the $300-500 Upgrade cost you mentioned.

Thanks for the info Ken. I did look at Office Home and Student 2007 but because it didn't include Outlook, it wasn't really an option for me. Perhaps combining the two could work though.
