Will there be a student license (along with a student purchase price) as there has been with the last editions of office?

Having Beta Tested for many months, before and after the Technical refresh, it's great to know that it's finally launched. Looking forward to downloading the trial tomorrow.

Can you point to any resources that would help in developing a strategy to prepare and train 2000 users for our implementation of Office 2007. In particular, if one segments users into various categories like: think they don't need training, can get by, basic skills, advanced skills and power user, what differences would be implied for learning/training the new product?

Good to hear about the launch. Been using the Office Beta for 5 months now and impressed.

Btw, is there a difference b'ween the Trial Version and the Beta ?

I could not get the Office trial to install until I removed both my Office beta -AND- the PDF/XPS export plug-in (which is not documented on that web site.)

Now that Office 2007 is launched, I would love to see some blog entries on migration issues and Microsoft's recommendations!

I.e:

* How to migrate autotext entries from older Word installations.

* I'm sure there are thousands of Powerpoint 4.0 files on many company network drives. But you can't open Powerpoint 4.0 Files with Powerpoint 2007 anymore... What's Microsoft's recommendation to identify them and maybe even migrate them for users?

* An offline tool helping users to find commands known from older Word installations

* recommended training for normal and for power users of older Office versions

* ...
