JoAnn,

If you purchase an upgrade package of MS Office 2007 you have a retail version for the next upgrade.

If you purchase a Home & Student edition, those haven't come in an upgrade package, but it's still priced lower than an upgrade
edition, so it's probably a good value either way and either way you have Office 2007.

There's no guarantee MS will continue the practice.
