According to NPD, productivity suites are one of the strongest software sales categories at retail. Overall, retail software sales were flat through the end of November. By contrast, sales of productivity suites rose 12.8 percent year over year. One product--Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition--made up 80 percent of the category's sales.
