Costs

• Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 is the most complete package of 2007 products that Microsoft has to offer. As of August 2010, it retails at nearly $700, whereas Microsoft Office Professional 2007 lists at around $500. Both, however, can be found for less now that Microsoft Office has put out its 2010 line of products. Used versions on sites like ebay.com are particularly inexpensive.
