When I bought the first one I was similarly surprised and pleased.  My 
version 2003 simply did not have the functionality of the 2010 I had on 
another box.  It was surprisingly cheap and simple to get the 
capabilities I needed.

Yes.  They send you a key by email, and you go to setup.office.com. and 
click the get started button where it asks you for the key and you then 
download the installation files.  You get the complete Office packages 
and windows update also takes care of any updates that come along.
