    Anyone know why Office Home & Student ceases to be available on the T61 order page if you select the 64-bit version of Vista Business? Microsoft website indicates the Home & Student version works just fine with the 64-bit version. Curious if anyone knows why they wouldn't offer it.

    Also, I'm very surprised to see that buying Office from Lenovo with a computer is quite a bit more expensive than the equivalent package at Amazon.com. I thought they discounted Office when sold with a new computer.

    I am not sure why they don't offer it with Vista Business. Maybe they think a business user isn't going to be a student or just an average user. It is hard to say why they don't offer a discount. In my opinion they probably think people will just be willing to pay more since they don't realize they could get it cheaper from somewhere else.
