On the business side, Microsoft is offering two high-end collections in addition to its professional and standard editions, in keeping with CEO Steve Ballmer's statement to analysts last year that there would be new premium versions of Office. As with the Student and Teacher edition, the home version of Office can be used on up to three PCs in a home, but cannot be upgraded to a future version of Office. Microsoft is also removing the Outlook e-mail and calendar program from that edition and instead is including its OneNote note-taking application.
In the biggest change for consumers, Microsoft is replacing its Student and Teacher edition with a $149 Home and Student edition that can be used by all home users. Microsoft released an initial beta of Office 2007 in November, with a second beta planned for this spring. "We do believe this is the most significant advance in over a decade." "There's a tremendous amount in the new Office 2007," he said. Munsell said the new Office will offer a bevy of new features, including an all-new user interface and new XML-based file formats. Also, as widely expected, the version formerly code-named "Office 12" will be known as Office 2007 when it ships in the second half of this year. Office Standard, for example, will sell for $399, while Office Professional will sell for $499. "We do not expect our customers to notice any significant change in our pricing," said Parri Munsell, a group program manager in Microsoft's information worker unit. In general, Microsoft said both businesses and consumers should expect to pay about the same for the new Office as they have paid for past versions.

The software maker also offered pricing details for some, though not all, of the new products. Microsoft on Wednesday offered further details on the next version of Office, announcing plans for a new home version as well as new server-based products and a new high-end enterprise edition of the desktop suite.
