Microsoft is implementing a new sales strategy with the coming release of its Office 2010 it says should make it easier to sell and deploy for channel partners, but one that could take away their opportunities to sell upgrades.
With the launch of Microsoft Office 2010, expected on June 15, the vendor wants to pre-load a new Office image that includes all three versions of the application on between 80 percent and 100 percent of all new systems sold, said Vic Barakat, OEM distribution partner account manager at Microsoft.

That image will include the Home and Student edition, which will include licenses for use on up to three PCs, as well as the Home and Business and the Professionals editions, which will include licenses that allow it to be installed on one desktop PC and one portable PC used by the same user, Barakat said.
The single image containing all three versions is aimed at simplifying the number of SKUs of the software that partners take to customers, and make it easier for them to sell the product.
