   Does point 3 not refer to the fact that you won’t have to upgrade your machine in order to use the software? remembering the XP/Vista changes, where memory/graphics card upgrades were needed – i’m guessing they are just reassuring us that we won’t need to spend even more money upgrading (yet)

   It certainly sounds like that until you realize that they’re talking about Office. I’ve never heard of any hardware upgrade requirements for Office. Weird.

   If “hardware” is replaced with “operating system” then it sounds like Office 2010 will work with XP and Vista, rather than being a Windows 7 exclusive like DirectX 10 was for Vista.
