Disclaimer on the post:
(Anyone having a problem with these links--don't take it to *me as someone
previously did. I don't make MSFT web pages; Microsoft does. They are all
web pages from the company who makes Vista and Office who at the time of
typing was after much investigation Microsoft. No one on this group
incluiding the MSFT personnel who have been here make the web sites on sales
either--they work in specific Vista team areas).
This info was also helped by a meeting with Microsoft today.
Take anything you don't like about their sales links up with 1-800-Microsoft
where they'll be glad to clarify and listen to your suggestions about their
links lol.
I spoke with MSFT just now,and there will be NO Vista so called Home
Premium or any other Vista Academic edition ever sold individually or with
that title as "Vista Academic" with specific features, but I do know there
will be a volume license verison available for purchases by academic
institutions via volume licensing. See all the hyperlinks in this article
at the link below:
There will be an Office Home and Student 2007 available, that can be
purchased as an individual non-volume license, and it will contain Word,
Excel, Powerpoint, One Note and will *not contain Outlook.

I don't see a Home Premium Academic listed on MSFT's site and again, MSFT
just said there is no such named entity for *Vista although there are
agreements to purchase a Vista version through shcol volume licensing
agreements and those are linked below.
