Just when you thought you knew everything about MS Office.

Advantages: Powerful with lots of features
Disadvantages: Backward compatibility, a challenge for users of previous versions of MS Office and the Price

...styles of previous versions of Microsoft Office, then you will find this version more than a little like hard work to transition to. Microsoft's reasoning is to group menu and toolbar features in 'logical' groups that better suit the way you work, if you are new to Microsoft Office this does work very well, if not there is a lot of 'un-learning' to be done! Saying that now, it does have many useful additions such as the option to 'Save to PDF' ...
...SharePoint, if you work in that environment. It is worth noting that the native document format for Office 2007 is XML based, this simply means that users of earlier versioons of Office will not be able to read your documents unless they have downloaded and install the MS Office compatibility pack. Overall I would say the suit is very powerful, quite easy to learn as new user but quite expensive, especially if your requirements are quite basic ...

Review of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

You need a course to work with...

Advantages: You may see the changes immediatly without clicking
Disadvantages: From the begining you loose the speed of your work

I have Microsoft Office Standard 2007 on my PC for two months. Software development is my job. In most of the cases I don't need much time to undrestand how some software is working but with Microsof Office 2007 ...... When I saw for the first time Microsoft Word 2007 I was really suprised. I didn't find how to Save my file. Microsoft developed a new conception about their products and I really can't understand why. I don't have time and willingness ...
...is that you don't have the drop down menus. There are eight tabs in which are collected the functions. The tabs are: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, View, Add-Ins. Guess where is "Count words" for example. Unfortunately the name of the tabs are not the same as were the name of the menus and you don't know what is where. When you want to save your file, you don't click on File and after that on Save but you click on an icon ...

Review of Microsoft Office Standard 2007

Easy to install, as good as 360 in my opinon

Advantages: Easy to install, simple
Disadvantages: None

...this). Last year I had Norton 360 and there are so many things 360 protects you from. But I never liked the idea of remote back-up of files (photos etc..). I prefer to back these up myself, so I never really took full advantage of 360. In my opinion, this standard Norton security package is just as good. Covers off all the things I need and I use all features (unlike 360). I particularly like the tick/?/X next to each website when searching in Google, ...
...just over-wrote all the existing 360 programs on my PC. It does not complicate it moving between 360 and the standard. Automatically uninstalls 360 when you load this one. Overall, I would recommend. A good buy and not overpriced. Also, have the reassurance that Norton is protecting my PC. ...

Review of Norton Internet Security 2009 (PC)

Worth the money.

Advantages: Easy to use, lots of tools.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

A few years ago I decided I wanted to do some photo editing and graphics on my computer. A friend of mine recommended Photoshop and I am so glad I took his advice! I was new to graphics and had never done anything like that before but I quickly got the hang of it and kept on learning new things and I still learn new things today. I would say the learning curve for this program is quite steep. When you first get it, it is very confusing as you are ...
...start to learn how to use it as you get used to the tools available. The tools are neatly displayed at the side and top making it easy to locate the one you need. It took me a while to find some of the things I needed because I was not sure of the name or symbol for it but I quickly found it, usually. There are lots of very customizable filters you can put on your photos, creating very interesting effects eg. artistic, blur and distortion . There ...
