I have Office 2003 Home and Student and it does indeed have Outlook.
If I remember correctly, it just doesn't install it by default. You have to tell it to. Also, I think it does allow up to 3 installs. I don't know about other versions though.

Bob The Home and Student version of Office 2007 is licensed for up to three computers (not for commercial or non-profit business or government). It has Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note (not Outlook). |

OpenOffice is even less expensive (free). You get what you pay for. :-) -- Bill Bill, have you seen Office 2007? Microsoft mangled the interface. Unless someone needs something very specialized, like Excel pivot tables, Open Office might be the better alternative. (Here's a link to a good product that enables classic menus in Office 2007 -- http://www.addintools.com/english/menuoffice/) Microsoft has other calendaring programs and other e-mail programs. It's hard for me to keep them straight: - Windows Calendar, the calendar in MS Works, is there a Windows Live calendar? - Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail? I usually sign up for a class at a local community college which qualifies me for discounts on MS products which might be something to consider if you want or need another license or two. In Office 2007 I do like: - Outlook's calendar which can have 60-minute time intervals and which can show to-do's below the appointments on a weekly calendar (makes seeing the whole week easier and shuffling tasks around very easy). - One Note 2007 is an excellent program. On some Mac forums people have been asking if there's anything as good as One Note on the Mac platform so that says a lot. - MS Access can't, for me at least, be replaced by an open source alternative. There's too much of a time investment in a database program that keeps me in the mainstream. Word and Excel, for me, are replaceable, but not for people who use VBA scripting. So, whether one can replace MS Office depends on a lot of factors but for most people I think Open Office is a better alternative than Office 2007. |

Bob I don't know about current versions, but up to MS Office 2000 Pro anyway you are allowed to install a single license on your laptop and desktop. Which brings up another point. For the most part the biggest increment of innovation was with Office 97. Office 97, arguably, is better than Office 2007 (at least the interface for Word and Excel). So, if one has licenses to older versions of Office, they may want to skip Office 2007. |

LOL (to those that didn't like my opinion weeks ago) ... It's not always so black and white what is or is not on topic. When Dell sells hardware and software, the line gets blurry. |

Yes, but that wasn't his question.
