Summary: the best office pack since ever
Review: Having reviewed the beta of this product i must say that this Office is one of the best. Used in Win2k/ME and the new win XP. the transpareny is great. New features in all the applications making powerpoint even easier to use. though the beta of Office XP was a memory hog i think the final should be excellent but 128mb ram is definately needed and as ram is cheap why not get 256mb ram :)

Summary: Good product and read here about activation woes (gone?)
Review: Well, I finally decided to format my folks pc and reinstall all my software. Also decided to buy Office XP since I am a student and I qualify and I liked the price. Found out by reading these reviews that you can only install it once and have to beg and plead if your machine crashes and you need to reinstall.I resent being treated like a criminal when I have legitimately bought the software. It is enough to make someone (not me of course =o) ) download an activation crack so that they don't have to beg MS to allow them to install software they have paid for. Interesting no?

Summary: Disappointed
Review: This version of Office XP does include the full suite of Office XP programs and does not require an earlier version of Office in order to install the program. It does, however, have two very important limitations. First, it is not a version that qualifies for upgrading to future versions of the Office Suite. This is a major limitation. An even more important limitation is that the program can only be installed on one computer. Users who have both a desktop and laptop computer are in for a rude awakening if they think, as most would, that it can be installed on each so that the program can be used when the other computer is not available. Now for the biggest surprise of all. Students and teachers at virtually every grade level from K-12 through college also qualify for purchasing the full version of Office XP for virtually the same price as this package. Known as academic pricing, the Standard version of Office XP can be purchased online for about $155, and the Professional version can be purchased for about $185. These academic versions are full versions of the XP Suite, they qualify for future Office upgrades, and they can be installed on a desktop and laptop simultaneously. Why anyone would buy anything other than the academic versions from academic software vendors totally escapes me. As a point of reference, vendors such as www.academicsuperstore.com sell many, many popular software titles at significantly discounted prices. Don't believe me? Check them out for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised. No, make that incredibly surprised!
