I am looking to upgrade roughly 150 clients from office 2007 to office 2010. As we have a corporate serial key I'm not really want to install this by entering in the key manually by myself every time. I know that you can somehow "embed" the serial key into the installation files so that you do not need to manually enter the serial key, but do now know how. So how do I go about this?

Check out this walk-through It requires an XML file similar to Windows 7 unattended install.
Alternatively, you could make all the end users fend for themselves during the upgrade :)
