Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Business, 1 User (PC DVD)

Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Business, 1 User (PC DVD) Review



It shows a certain degree of confidence that Microsoft released the beta version ages ago. Yes, there have been a few hiccups- but this is to be expected at this stage. Overall, it is easy to see why Microsoft have the leading Office software. The upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2007 is very similar to upgrading Vista to Windows 7. Whilst the new ribbon look and feel is here to stay (despite criticisms, this really works for me- I do not know why this was not done earlier), Office 2010 just does everything that Office 2007 did, only better- plus there are some nice little extra's and tweaks- Excel users will lap up sparklines and improved formatting options for example. 10/10- the defining benchmark.

Very promising - P. Orr - UK
It's only a beta at present, but I'm having few problems with this unfinished software. There is the odd anomaly, but that's why it is still a beta. Backstage view is great, every app has been improved, hideous Wordart is finally gone, and Publisher - always an ugly duckling - has at least been brought up to date.

Can't wait for Release Candidate and final release. Microsoft has got its Mojo back.



A disaster waiting to happen - Trevor Woolnough - Dudley, West Midlands United Kingdom
As a Microsoft Office 2007 user, I was given the opportunity to download Office 2010 for free from microsoft. I am an XP media centre user and office 2010 meets my computer system requirements. Download was easy, instalation was straigtforward, the programmes came on with no problem. Compared to 2007, 2010 truely seems to offer a lot more.

The problems then started, having writen a letter in Word, which printed fine, I tried to save it as a titled document. It refused to do this coming up with an alert that word had insuffient memory to perform this action, and could only save the document as a rescued document. Yet arcording to my computer there was no issues with memory or hard disc space, far from it I had plenty to spare.

I checked Microsoft web site for a solution, but could not find one. I then did a google search and discovered since December 09 there were other users who had the same problems. That even the geeks amoung them could not resolve.

As the download cost me nothing the only thing I wasted was my own time. I ended up uninstalling office 2010 and reinstalling my office 2007. The funny thing is that 2007 works on my computer with no problems.

May be when they do release 2010 for sale they will have solved this issue. But frankly I found the whole experience of 2010 depressing partically as it worked well, but could not save any files in 'save as' mode.
