How to buy Microsoft software

I’m sure you know that Microsoft doesn’t sell direct to consumers, but sells instead through various channels, retailers and partners. We’re aware this can be frustrating so we’ve developed a special ‘How to buy section on the Small Business website, designed to help you decide exactly what you want and what the best buying options are for different scenarios.

You may need just one copy of Office 2007 for example, or you may be thinking about purchasing licences for a mix of products and aren't sure of the best way to do it. The How to Buy section has a simple questionnaire to help guide you through the decision-making process and a comparison tool so you can see at a glance with option is best for you.

This is a good time to buy Office 2007 Small Business Edition for example – buy from a participating Microsoft partner before 31 October and you can get up to 15% off – you’ll find more details on the Special Offers page. You can buy from retailers or you can download an electronic copy from the Microsoft Store.
