Just thought I would pass this along to others. I found that home school families are eligible for deep discounts on certain software by obtaining the educational version. It is the full version, it's just sold at a much reduced price for students, staff, schools, etc.
The one I found was listed on the Microsoft website http://www.microsoft.com/Education/academicdiscounts.mspx. By folowing the links they listed, I found http://www.journeyed.com/genInfo.asp?PID=purchReq. They offer software up to 85% off the retail price.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
