So I went out today and spent a lot of money, more than I would have liked to spend. I picked the full version of Microsoft Office 2007 Small Business Edition. However there are a few things that actually amused me with this purchase. So it made the cost just a tiny bit more worth it.

First when I opened the package it appears to be just 1 install cd, as there is only 1 spot for a cd. However there is actually a deeper tray and there are 2 install cd’s that are placed directly on top of one another. No big deal really, but what I found was really funny was the cd’s are not the same. Disk 1 has the nice fancy hologram while Disk 2 is the standard looking painted cd. Funny, why did they not make them the same?

So then I put in Disk 1 and started the install, oops don’t forget to type in that extra long serial number. After that it gave me a choice of “Upgrade” or “Customize”. Strange because I had purchased the full version and did not have any version of Office currently on the computer. Why did they not give me a choice to “Install”? Oh well, the “Upgrade” worked.

Just thought it was funny.
