I got a quote for Office 2007 Standard Open Value license. The price for 75 copies was $50,451 for the 3 year agreement. The next 3 years is $25,272 for a 6 year total of $75,723. If I just buy standard retail packs, I can get 75 copies at $350 each for a total of $26,250. The retail licenses are transferable to a new computer, so the 6 year total is $26,250. Am I missing something or is it a total waste to do Microsoft Licensing? I'm not worried about managing the licensing keys. I can use Excel to keep track of the license key that goes to each computer. A lot of my users are still using Office 2000, so I'm not worried about upgrading software every 3 years. Office 2007 should easily last 6 years.

Or I could do it all with Terminal Services and use a volume license copy of Office.. but i guess that would still require me to purchase the correct number of licenses for my users. I get so confused with MS licensing haha.
