The pricing strategy for consumer editions of Office 2010 combines some price reductions, discounts for customers who use a new software delivery technology, tighter limits on the number of installations permitted on a single license, and an end to discounted upgrades for customers who have already own a previous version of Office. As a result, customers will need to take a number of factors into account before they upgrade. Business customers still need to wait: the company has not announced volume prices.
