With the XP/Office 2003 EOL in about a week, we are also upgrading our systems here at work. After much deliberation, we decided to go with Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 (Intel i5/8Gb) with Windows 7 Pro and Office Pro 2013. This is expected to last at least 5 years minimum.
$299 sounds about right for Office Pro 2013. How many PC's are we talking about? If its a very small business you can do a dodgy and just buy the Home Edition for Multiple users for a fraction of the price.
At this point it might be difficult to get Office Pro 2010 in quantities and it wont be that much cheaper. The extended EOL for Office 2010 is 2020 and for Office 2013 is 2023.
