Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Pro

Advantages: Solid toolset, real productivity improvements, edit/continue debugging
Disadvantages: No code profiling or source control, slightly suspect UK pricing

..., Microsoft have now opened up the protocols used for communicating with source control systems opening up the option of more 3rd party tools that will interact directly with Visual Studio 2005. One excellent new feature is the ability to export your current IDE settings. The IDE has a dizzyingly large number of options, modes and ways of working that once you get a comfortable working environment, the thought of replicating it on a new machine is not pleasant. Visual Studio 2005 lets you export all your settings in one go and then import them in to another copy on a different PC. For developers who hot desk or share machines this will be a godsend. Finally, you get a whole bunch of new icons and images to ensure your VS 2005 applications have the look and feel of the latest Office and Windows releases. Debugging A welcome step forward...

Review of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Complete package

Microsoft Office Professional

Advantages: IT'S COOL LOOKING
Disadvantages: YOU HAVE A DEADLINE TO MEET?.....DON'T USE!!

...a better result? gee!! not for me at least because, what i feel working with the product is CLUMSINESS, i practically have to look for almost every thing(buttons) to carry out some functions ( THANK GOD FOR SOME SHORT CUTS). One good thing that was done on it anyways, is the fact that you are presented with different "Save AS" options. But take my advice, if you have to work with MS office professional 2007, be sure you save your documents with the "97 - 2003" option because God help you if you are sending that finished document to someone like myself who has decided to stick with MS office 2003 ( atmost 2005) and believe it or not there are quite a number out there. My opinion - Microsoft Office Professional 2007 is cool, but i LOVE my reliable and dependable and easy to USE MS office professional 2003....

Review of Microsoft Office Professional 2007

Microsoft Office - Essential for any business or individual

Advantages: Many packages on one disc which will save you time.
Disadvantages: Price is high

...Intro Microsoft Office has always been an essential piece of kit for any business or individual who works on his computer. Since Windows 95 when office really took off, users all of the world trust it for keeping track of their finances with Excel, for word processing with word or for creating great presentation with PowerPoint. But Microsoft Office can be used for a whole lot more. I use Office as an email client using Outlook. Each of these packages are good by themselves but together they are extremely efficient and can save you a lot of time and in business time is money. There are many packages on this one disc, so I will highlight the main ones. Microsoft Word For anybody who types up documents on their pc or just writes notes, Word is absolutely essential. The documents that you create using Word are professional...

Microsoft Office 2007 - A radical change or more of the same?

Advantages: Comprehensive suite of business applications
Disadvantages: Not easy to get used to. Expensive compared to competitors

...Groove 2007 is a new product in the Office suite. It is mainly aimed at business users who share a specific job role. With Groove you can share files, hold discussions and/or meetings in the form of a chat room style scenario. As I only use Office 2007 at home, I have never had any use for this software although, I can see its use and it would be a very valuable tool for our department which is based over several sites. Infopath Infopath is an electronic form designer. These forms can then be published either in infopath itself or via a web browser. This is a very powerful tool for capturing any data an organisation deems necessary. Data is captured in the industry standard XML format meaning that it can be analysed in almost any data driven application on the market today. Of course, Microsoft really want you to do this...

Review of Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, slow but perfect.

Advantages: New look, good for beginners, easy to instal, more professional tools
Disadvantages: Slower then the old one, hard to find sertain things in the new menus

...going through the menus. I was amazed on how much you could do with it. The only downside of this new menu style is that some of the things i was used to lookup in the much faster menus are now devided, and some times hard to find. Other then that, i like the new way microsoft has turned with this office. Keep it up!...

Microsoft Office 2007

Review of Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007

Complete Overhaul of the Office Suite

Advantages: Ease of use, Fantastic AutoFormats & Increased Features
Disadvantages: Experienced users will find it hard at the start to find known features

...General Opinion As an IT Trainer I have used and taught the Microsoft Office suite for 9 years and this is the most exciting change to hit our PCs in years. It is not just an upgrade on an old idea but a complete overhaul of the system. Gone are the old menus and toolbars and in their place is a new feature called the Ribbon. Where once you could turn toolbars on and off accidentally never to be seen again this version allows its users to play around with all the features without the fear of losing any functionality. For new users it is more intuative with the features being grouped together and being more visual. There are many Automatic Formatting features which give your documents a much more professional look in a much shorter time. More Visible Features Some examples of the earlier hidden...

Review of Microsoft Office Professional 2007

An excellent studio

Advantages: Fine, first class software and much improved coding
Disadvantages: Hard to configure and clumsy to install.

.... So we know it covers many different types of software construction. Lets take a step back and discuss some points I did not know before I started to use it. Firstly, the size of the software. When I ordered it at work and it turned up in a large box, I started to worry. True, I had opted for the "Enterprise Architect" version but was not prepared for what I got. The number of CDs in the box exceeded 20! There were addon's, Servers and applications of all types here. Enough to satisfy any developer. So you are going to need plenty of disk space if you intend to install everything. What you get is: 4 (yes 4) CD's with the actual Visual Studio.net development tool on it. 1 Studio Update CD to make your computer up to date with the latest patches and security issues before installing the software. 1 Copy of Windows 2000 Server 1...

Review of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Complete package

Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007

Advantages: On the whole MS Office 2007 Ultimate is very good
Disadvantages: Excel is no longer a chore because it was mentioned once in the top band

...PowerPoint, Publisher, Access, Groove, InfoPath et cetera (also included): I was delving into this, but they appear to have all the perks from other programs. I found Microsoft Office 2007 to be better than upgrading to office in 2003. I like the band and how to set from Word and Excel. They've added some good. I like in Outlook flag items ability to adjust to different colors. Word. What can I say? This is the main device and software that I use on a tablet pc. 2007 applications are made for the type of computer. I can easily click on the tool with the touch of a Wacom pen and I do not have to stop mid-thought to make changes or wait until I finish the document and then make my edits. I choose the Ultimate Office 2007 is not only because it seemed to have everything possible should be able to run a business, but also simple function...
