Don't they think the price might be a factor?  Office 2003 is still retailing at anywhere between £300 and £400 depending on the version you purchase, or around £200 for an OEM version, so heaven knows what Office 2007 will cost.

Edit: Just found Office 2003 OEM on Ebuyer for just over £110, which is still bloody expensive.
