I also want to know if buying MS software from Amazon is legal.

Of course it's legal. Why would you think it's not?

Yes it is. I assume you're buying the retail version so you'll have the CDs
and the product key will be on the cases. Amazon is a great place to buy
Office - they are usually several dollars cheaper than buying it from
Microsoft. I like that part. :-)

Hi there,

To answer the first part of your question, you get the 25-character
trial key during the download process (on the "Download" and "Thank You"
pages). It is also sent to you in your confirmation e-mail. You can get
the download for Microsoft Office Beta 2010 he 'Microsoft Office
Online' (http://tinyurl.com/272au7e). It is a free trial that expires in
October.

You can now pre-order Office 2010, which will be available in June. To
get more information about pre-ordering, check out: 'Compare Office 2010
Suites ? Preorder from Microsoft Store'
(http://store.microsoft.com/Category.aspx?CatId=210).

I hope this helps!

Unless it's pre-installed in which case your reply is useless.

The Beta 2010 is NOT a "trial version" as in the OP's post.

Not at all.

I hope you aren't REALLY part of the "outreach team" - you posted NOTHING
that helps the OP.
