As far as my experience taught me ... ordering a DSP ( Delivery Service Partner” ) product means you have to use this on an OEM ( Original Equipment Manufacturer ) PC but apart from this there were no or little differences between the retail product...

MS seems to have changed the policies on the matter recently : Ordering Vista DSP means you either get a 32 or 64 bit installation DVD, while the retail provides both. This provides a reasonable price difference explanation, considering the DSP costs about 150€ in Greece while the retail goes up to 590, both for Ultimate Edition.

So, imagine the surprise today receiving Office 2007 with NO CD or DVD media at all:

you have to download and use the trial version and order media from Microsoft ( for 15€ that is, of course )...

Next time we will be ordering the case, the printouts, the serial, the CD and the CD case in a different process...

reminds me of some coffee shops that you ask for a cappuccino and they send you milk, sugar, water and coffee separately... or nice looking IKEA desks you have to build on your own...

This is the DIY ( Do It Yourself ) Era !
