Can I upgrde this version of office using: Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 retail upgrade?

Im guessing you cannot upgrade an OEM edition!

MS says otherwise.

Qualifying products for upgrade:

Microsoft Works 6.0–10; Microsoft Works suite 2000–2006 or later; any 2000–2007 Microsoft Office program or suite; any Microsoft Office XP suite except Office XP Student and Teacher.

This includes OEM licences.

Interesting. It doesn't say you can't do an upgrade on OEM software then.

You can upgrade OEM licenses - how else would people who bought PCs with one version of Windows on be able to upgrade? However, it doesn't turn your install into a retail version, it would still be tied to the machine.
