Compared to MS office it's very good value. Users expect to pay something,
and expect tech support, so £50 for software (site licence), support is
great, and should be supported, I look forward to release as I really need
a replacement for MS Works. MS office is far too expensive.
Look forward to training also.
As this covers home and office use, does this mean that the cd's can be
copied and installed on home machines? Hence allowing both staff and
students access to the same software?

Learning Pathways are the distributors/resellers/support for Sun in the schools market and state that this cost will help them develop training and support for schools.
