MS Office 2010 student version What is the difference

Am thinking of getting a newer version of office for a student in the family, and ive seen a 'student' version advertised which seems a lot cheaper (link below)

Office pro student

Firstly ive never used 2010, only the much older 2000 office and to be honest it does what i need so im not sure of what the real benefits of upgrading to 2010 would be, the company above doesnt answer phone calls, so cant answer questions about what the licence covers, reading other posts on here seems to show it could be installed on one laptop and one desktop, however, would 2010 run very slow on say an XP machine ? also do you have to wipe the older version of office when 2010 installs?

Is a previous version like 2007 a better idea? and would this work better on XP or an older machine?

Just wonder if the student 2010 version is somehow different to the regular version, and does it need you to input passwords or stuff or is it limited in some way?

Thoughts please ...
