If you purchase any Microsoft Office 2007 suite before Microsoft Office 2010 is released then you can download the new Office 2010 for free or order a DVD from Microsoft for a small shipping and handling fee.

What if a new version of Windows didn't try to dazzle you? What if, instead, it tried to disappear except when you needed it? Such an operating system would dispense with glitzy effects in favor of low-key, useful new features. Rather than pelting you with alerts, warnings, and requests, it would try to stay out of your face. And if any bundled applications weren't essential, it would dump 'em.

It's not a what-if scenario. Windows 7, has arrived on new PCs and as a shrinkwrapped upgrade on October 22, has a minimalist feel and attempts to fix annoyances old and new. In contrast, Windows Vista offered a flashy new interface, but its poor performance, compatibility glitches, and lack of compelling features made some folks regret upgrading and others refuse to leave Windows XP.

Windows 7 is almost flawless. Some features won't realize their potential without heavy lifting by third parties. But overall, the final shipping version I test-drive appears to be the worthy successor to Windows XP that Vista never was.
