Re: Two versions of Office Enterprise 2007 on MVL page -- difference?

Hi everyone,

Our company uses the Microsoft Volume License, and we have a portal via
Microsoft.com to download our MS software. Today when checking out MS
Office 2007, there are two options for Microsoft Enterprise:

Office Enterprise 2007 Win32 English Disk Kit MVL DVD English
2006-11-30
Office Enterprise 2007 Win32 English Disk Kit MVL UG Only DVD English
2006-11-30

The first one is around 500 Megs and the latter (UG Only) is almost 2
Gigs. I'd assume the UG Only means Upgrade Only, but if so why would
the Upgrade be 2 Gigs with the full version only 500 Megs?

Can someone shed some light on this for us? I'll probably download
both just to be sure, but just checking.

Thanks ..

Alex

Sorry I don't have the answer to your question. Hopefully someone reading
here will, but I just have to ask -- is there not a contact link or anything
for assistance on the download page?

I guess I just figured (read hoped) MS would have provided some kind of
help/question-answering mechanism for its volume license customers. I doubt
that many people reading this group have access to the volume license
Enterprise downloads....

Hi Echo,

I hoped it'd be quicker to post on here then to jump through hoops, but
seeing many posts similar to this on other forums and the Newsgroups I
decided to go ahead and call Microsoft. They did have a support number
buried on the Enterprise site.

The guy I talked to had no idea what the difference was, and he's
escalating it to the next level of support and will get back with me.
Once I get a response back I'll post it here.

Take care,

Alex
