Not to sound stupid, but given that the list price for Office 2007 Ultimate (everything plus the kitchen sink) is $679.95 on microsoft.com, why in the world would an 1800 seat installation pay more than that per user?

The educational license costs 40 euro for Office 2007 Enterprise, 28 euro for Office 2007 Professional. 40 * 1800 = 72000. Wow. That must be one hell of a smoke that Microsoft offered the French...
