    I am not saying you should or that I have downloaded it. It is a bad idea, and I am asking only for learning purposes.

    If someone installed microsoft office blue version 2007 (only available to oem), would it say something like "Microsoft Office Enterprise Blue" if you clicked the about? Or would it just say ms office enterprise and come in a different package?

    I have not or will not downloaded it, because it is illegal.

    Blue Edition isn't OEM, it's for internal Microsoft use only. It doesn't come in any package since you can't buy it.

    I can't remember, but it's only called the "Blue Edition" because the official disc that it's on is blue. There's no official "Blue Edition", aka, you don't ask your boss for the "Blue Edition office", you just ask for Office and you get a disc with Office on it that happens to be blue.

    Either way, the only way you can get it outside of a job at Microsoft (or an internship at MS) is through torrents, and half of them include a special blend of virii and spyware that come along for a ride.
