"Microsoft has decided to give its Office 2008 selection a makeover by ditching two of its three choices and replacing them with a Business Edition. Now, it's easier to decide what version you need: are you a home or student user, or are you a business user?"

Didn't they do something similar with the new version of Windows? I think the more they can scale back the better, too many choices leads to confusion, at least it did for me when I was trying to figure out what version of Windows I needed, back in the day when I had to choose.

Of course, the right thing to do would be to have one version, not charge $400 - $500 for it, and let everyone have all the features.

I know.

God forbid, Microsoft.
