MS retail packages--like those you find at BusinessLand--commonly list
the system requirements for the given application. Don't count on
the salesperson to be the most informed! 
 
>2.  Does MicroSoft have an inexpensive upgrade policy?  

Well, I dunno what inexpensive is defined as. We always have upgrade
packages for existing applications' users. Not being in Product Support,
I *can* offer you the number to call here for upgrade info:
		1-800-426-9400
Call this number for info about updating your product and for product
literature. This number's open 6:30am-5:30pm PDT.

Hope this helps.
