Which Office 2008 to get? (Special Media or Home/Student)

[aphex]

Office 2008 for Mac Special Media Edition (includes 1 license for business or personal use, also includes Exchange Server support , additional Automator Actions plus Microsoft Expression Media for Mac)

Office 2008 for Mac Home and Student Edition (includes 3 licenses for home or non-commercial use only; does NOT include Exchange Server support or Automator Actions) + Microsoft Expression Media for Mac



More than likely I will be working at a larger law firm this spring (30+ employees), so I'm worried they might end up using an exchange server - so the Home/Student edition wouldn't be able to connect.

But in the same breadth, I also will have two mac's (desktop & laptop), so having a multiple user license would be more beneficial.


What do you think?

I ordered the Special Media, because I want all of the features. I figured that I can always install one of the 2004 licenses if I need MS Office on a srcondary Mac.

Odds are you won't be allowed/will find it difficult to work with your Mac in your office.

However, if Entourage 2008 supports RDC over HTTP for remote Exchange access (no clue, haven't looked at it yet), that would be a good reason to go with Special Media -- OWA is crap in all browsers but IE.
