 Software : Microsoft Office XP Professional [OLD VERSION] |
|
Rating:  - Misinformed
Just a note to those consumers reading these reviews about the students and teachers edition. I work at Microsoft in the customer service division and I can tell you for a fact that the students and teachers edition of office xp can ONLY be installed on ONE system. Just ONE. This means not on a desktop and a laptop. One or the other. We have had customers calling in for this second license when it won't allow them to activate on the second computer and we have to tell them that the reason is because the license extends to one system only. Hope this clears alot of confusion.
Rating:  - Slower than Office 2000, but still the best
I bought the College Student version of MS Office Professional, which was $... less than this one. I was pleased with all the programs this had (with the exception of not having Front Page, which is a great program itself), and I think that the version that includes Front Page and Project with a free mouse is the best option if you want it all. However, if you are a student or teacher, check your local bookstore or a website that offers software to students so you can pay less for MS Office XP Professional. However, if you want to pay way less for Office XP, but don't plan on upgrading for a while, get the Standard version that is sold in most businesses like Wal-Mart.
Compared to Office 2000, this version is a little slower to operate, yet, it does have some improvements. I like the Task Pane on Office XP. It may be included on Office 2000, I don't remember, but it is very convenient. Also, I like that on Front Page XP (which I purchased separately for $..., thanks MS!) you can change fonts easier. Also, you have one button access to putting your page on a blank internet page.
I am pretty pleased. Not only that it is easy to use, I know that is what my school uses, and it also works VERY WELL with Apple Works.
Rating: - Great Buy
This is an outstanding upgrade. Outlook is wonderful and more functional than ever. Word has some nice improvements.
Rating: - Great Deal, put it on 2 computers
This is a great deal. The apps are very powerful and, contrary to what many have said here, you CAN install this software on 2 computers. You will need to call the Microsoft activation number (toll-free) to activate the second computer but you DO GET 2 LICENSES! This can be a desktop and laptop, 2 laptops, or 2 desktops.
Rating:  - A [...]company and unknown mystery
Please reconsider again before you decide to buy it.
First of all, this product allows you to install only one time.
You have one desktop and one laptop. Sorry, you have to buy two copies.
You just format your desktop and want to install Office XP back.
Sorry, you have to buy the second copy.
Second of all, several functions are taken away from a normal Office XP package.
Don't believe what the ad. says.
You should buy a standard version.
To me, it's pain in the [...] to buy the version for students and teachers.
