 Software : Microsoft Office XP Professional [OLD VERSION] |
|
Rating:  - Stop complaining.. Sheesh!
I've been an office user ever since version 5.1; using this office suite at work and at home. I can't understand where all the complaining is coming from...Microsoft Excel Works better than Lotus 123, Microsoft Word works better than WordPerfect ever did and Microsoft Access is the best personal database system available. Plus it comes with a bunch of other tools that are very useful. I've never had trouble installing and maintaining this program suite and you can always turn off the office assistant.
This is the easiest program suite to use. I do have to agree with some critics about the pricing and registration scheme for this product. Hopefully Microsoft will change their minds and find a better way to stop piracy. Bottom line: it's ... but it works and it's easy to use.

I got this for work; we all went through a day of fiddling about and installing and looking at the features, and pretty soon everyone was gopher holing up out of their cubes saying sarcastically, "Well, thank goodness *** paid for it!" Yeah, there's cool stuff and it's pretty, but not for this price. I'm surprised MS is still selling their products at this price, in this economy, since sooner or later (or right now) employers are going to be just trying to stay afloat, and not bothering with excessive software costs.
Our friendly neighborhood geek down the hall mocked us for having it, and said he'd been on OpenOffice.org for months and it had the same features for FREE. So he made us come down and see it. And it didn't have *all* the same features, but pretty close, and when he opened up our Word user's guides in it, it looked just like it did in Word. So, geeklike, he mocked us again, and then told us where to download it for our home machines because we sure as heck weren't going to pay for the upgrade ourselves.
So, long story short. If it's your money, don't get it. And OpenOffice.org is working on my home Windows 2000 machine just fine.

Well well well...i bought Office XP Professional for a tenner ...and i was well chuffed at first. installed it, and everything worked really fine. i didn't activate it, but i just turned off my computer till the next night. THEN, when i tried to load XP, it just automatically restarted. Wouldn't load XP! So i formatted my HDD, and then (with very shaky fingers) re-installed it, and activated it, then it worked proper. the point is, don't install this software if you have an unknown problem, or conflicting devices on your conputer.
Down to the software.. It has Frontpage, Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint and Outlook. The last office i had was 97 small business edition and that was completely ..., i definately needed it. all the programs work really well. they've got Speech Recognition (which i hate because it slows my computer by 60% :(. I think the progs are just office2000 tweaked, and you can't install it on two computers. if u cant ...
Overall, a really useful bunch of programs, and definately worth [the money]!(not sure of the market price)
Rating:  - Padding Bill Gates' pocket!!!
This is just a hyped up, embellished version of their previous software. And to charge that price and not let me install it at work and home!!!! Guess that will stop me from taking my work home with me, won't it! They will let you install on a desktop and laptop under one license, but not two desktops!!! What a farce! I have to use the little money I make doing extra work at home to purchase another program!!!!!!! ANGRY - VERY!!!!
Rating: - Very good product
Very good product. Just a little on the expensive side.
