    I just got a free copy of Office 2007 Pro by attending a Launch Event to build up hype for Vista and the new products. I have installed it on my laptop and it works like a charm. Would I be able to install the same Product Key on my desktop? Any ideas out there.

    Check the conditions of the EULA. I believe so... the EULA for Office 2003 allows for installation to one laptop and one desktop. Hope this helps.

    I understand the terms but want to know if it is "technically" possible?

    Yes it's legal. The EULA allows for installation to one main "device" and another installation to a "portable device."
