I have office professional 2007 and need to upgrade to professional plus so i
can use excel services.

1. do i have to pay the $500+ for the upgrade? I would think there would
be a less expensive upgrade going from professional to professional plus.
2. Can professional plus upgrade be downloaded?

As I understand it, its only available via volume licensing

What the others said about volume licensing for Pro Plus. You can get Office
Ultimate retail, though, so you should be able to upgrade to that. I don't
know what that runs costwise.

I guess i need to go to Office Ultimate. It just rubs me the wrong way to
have to pay $600 to upgrade.

Thanks anyway.

Umm, it's $539 list for the upgrade, and less than 300 if you shop around.
