This was just leaked by Charles van Heusen, a Microsoft employee. He posted “the proposed Office 2007-for-Office 2010 exchange program on his blog, and later pulled down the entry” according to Appscout who found out from Ars Technica.

Here is what they know – “Under the program, a customer who purchases Office 2007 from an authorized Microsoft partner between March 5 – September 30, 2010, and who installs it by Sept. 30, is eligible for a free upgrade to Office 2010 by Oct. 31.”

It’s too bad I bought mine before those dates. This is a great incentive to buy, however will Microsoft still honor the special now that it has been leaked or was all of this intentional to create buzz?
