where to buy MS office XP for a office of 10 person?

do i buy 10 copy of MS office for each computer, or is there some way that i can share the software?

thanks

You could buy a corporate license which would cover all of your installs. Or you could just buy 10 licenses, one for each computer. You won't need to buy a copy per person, simply a copy per computer.

they have volume license, and i've found 3 local vendors.

but i doube they have corporate license at all...any tips?

I havent read much about this. I only know if it through a friend. The link is related to an "Action Pack" from MS. Might be worth a read to see if you or the company you are buying for is a hosting provider etc...

I'm getting emails all the time, that says, that I can buy it for $10, and also Adobe Photoshop for $7,50... nice prices thoose guys have kidding... Anyone else who gets thoose emails ?

At those prices, you would be better off downloading it off a warez server, and not giving any money to those scammers. I have never gotten those emails, but I all the time get emails for lets just say personal body part enlargment, which are very annoying. They use hashing so not only are they spam, there spam you cannot read or block

Anyways thought I would reply, I have not been around for awhile.

fuse,

The corporate license is too expensive for even a 20 user install. IMO you are best off to buy a little hardware and get OEM from a site like newegg or soemthing. Even with the hardware it is still far less than manyothr places, and the software is 100% legit.

You can't use the Action Pack in any corporate environment, its for internal evaluation and assessment only, and education/training of course.
