The Student version comes with three licenses, but is otherwise
identical to the standard version. Previous licenses did not guarantee
upgradability from a Student version (but two student versions have been
about as expensive as one upgrade version). However, that will depend on
conditions of future upgrades - I believe that the Office2004 upgrade
accepts previous Student versions.

The Pro version includes VPC7, but is otherwise identical to the
Standard version. It's not out yet, but should be soon.
