Others say..."Stick with what you have."I wasn't going to post a review up but I must seriously disagree with the last post. Office is nice, looks pretty, but the price is ridiculous. If you've got Win98SE and an old edition of Office then stick with it and keep your money in your own bank. You worked to hard to just give it away. If you have a different office suite package that does what you want then you'll be alot happier if you treated yourself out for a night of fun instead of buying this. With the price of this software you can have ALOT of fun! I guess this is what a monopoly gets us...inflated prices!!!! "an excellent Office Suite"I decided to give OfficeXP a short review, particularly because it deserves much better then an average 2.5 stars rating - as the previous reviewer said, the OfficeXP is the best office suite you can currently get. While this package is not a bargain, it beats any competition by the huge margin. I noticed improvements over the older versions of MS Office at several places - while the improvements may be minor to some people, the fact that the product runs without a glitch is enough for me to justify the purchase. Everything is very intuitive & straightforward, and without cumbersome handling and abundant variety of errors encountered in non-MS products. If you want to get frustrated, do everything twice as long with numerous glitches appearing usually at the least convenient moments (like when you need to have something urgently done, save your work to the file, etc. ), get free Open Office or pay moderate fee for Star Office 6.0; if you want to work fast and effortlessly since the first minute following the ultra-smooth installation, do yourself a favor and purchase OfficeXP; if you're not in a hurry, you may want to wait for Office 2003, which should be out soon. (Note: installed on Win2kPro-SP4 machine /P2.4GHz-1GB RAM/, absolutely smooth ride and I'm impressed with the software - reviewed version: OfficeXP(2002)SBE/DSP incl. Word, Excel, Outlook and Publisher)
"If you're a regular user, DON'T USE IT" Microsoft Office is an essential suite for computer users, because it lets you write documents, elaborate presentations, that sort of thing. And you thought there's nothing out there that can really replace it. Think again. I absolutely have no problems against MS Office, except for two things: THE PRICE. I refuse myself to pay 400 dollars for this. Besides, I don't even have 400 dollars to spend. THE ACTIVATION PROCESS. Microsoft can't kidnap my right of installing the program on the amount of computers I want to. Yes, I know this is still a very good software package. But if you're a high school or college student who doesn't have a budget worthy of a Fortune 500 company, or just a regular Joe who wants to write neat stuff in his computer, you can try alternatives such as StarOffice or OpenOffice.org, which are very similar, the learning curve is nonexistant if you've already used MS Office, and the price is unbeatable (it can be even free). It even opens and saves stuff in MS Office formats. Ask one of your techie friends to download OpenOffice.org and burn it into a CD, and YOU WON'T BE BREAKING ANY LAWS. If you're a corporate user and you can pay this much for Microsoft support, go ahead. It's really not worth it anymore.
"Too [much $], too much bloat." If you have followed Microsoft Office from version to version you may have noticed something: it gets BIGGER and BIGGER and BIGGER. Office 95, office 97, Office 2000, and now Office XP, continue the trend towards larger, more complex software on each release. You have to keep upgrading your PC every year or two so the "Microsoft Office of the year" runs ok on your system. I got a shrinkwrapped MS Office XP box with my last computer (it was a bundle at a special store price). Before opening the shinrwrap, I asked the store manager if I could use the demo system they had on display, which had Office XP installed. After seeing that there were no improvements from previous versions, and that disk space usage was higher than Office 97, I decided it was time to move on. ... Bottom line: StarOffice 6.0 costs a fraction of MS Office, uses a fraction of the hd space and ram of MS Office (which means StarOffice will run OK on systems where Microsoft Office XP is dog-slow), StarOffice 6.0 reads and writes all Microsoft office file formats, and lets you install LEGALLY, with NO ACTIVATION WHATSOEVER, your StarOffice suite on 5 machines, with no extra cost. To top all this, the look-and-feel is essentially the same, no re-learning curve!. Oh, I almost forgot, I saved $.. more, because StarOffice 6.0 includes templates for all AVERY LABELS, no need to purchase "Avery LabelPro" software like I had planned to do.
"Hey, It's the Best" I am compelled the write this review only because so many have been so cold. I have used Lotus, Word Perfect and Office XP. I can honestly say that Microsoft offers a superior product. Without getting into boring details, it is fair to say that no office suite offers greater acceptability and versatility than Office XP. It is the standard by which all other office suites are judged. There can be no question about this. Many will criticize XP Office for not being as good a value as their competitors. To this comment, I reply, that you get what you pay for in any office suite. Like it or not, Microsoft is king. XP has some cool new features. The "detect and repair" feature creates a mini-restore program within XP Office. The variable Office Assistant makes Clippy vacant or replaced by a new face. Mostly, I like the improved integration between Outlook, Word and Excel. Then again, I just use the program. Hey, is'nt that the point. If I still had 2000, I might wait for Office XML to be released later this year. Then again, I have been using XP for over a year now and have no regrets. Yeah, I'll probably upgrade again and pay some ridiculous upgrade price when XML is released. I guess I just like using the best office suite available.

What our customer's say!"old interface better than new", i strongly disliked the interface and the total re work of office 2007. i guess when u have an old comfortable pair of shoes. . . thats why i sought out this xp version. less complicated "Office", Well, actually I like Excel and hate Word. The other programs included I have little or no use for. I use Excel all the time for engineering calculations, including writing VBA macros to automate things that I can't do easily in the cells. It's very useful, like having a calculator that remembers everything you've done, writes it down, but allows you to change inputs and recalculate everything automatically. Unfortunately, there is a bug in the help files, so I can't get Visual Basic help anymore. The IT guys at work fixed the regular help but never could get the macro help to work again. Very annoying. Word is terrible compared to WordPerfect. What I used to be able to do with a couple of keystrokes, now takes minutes of navigation thru menus and dialog boxes. Outline formatting, numbered lists, etc. are especially frustrating in Word because nothing is obvious. You shouldn't have to get a college degree in word processing in order to learn to write a specification and get the formatting correct. One annoyance is that paragraph formatting is hidden in a selectable little space at the end of the paragraph, so if you try to delete the last few words by hitting shift-end and delete, you will delete numbering, formatting, etc. of that paragraph. Also, the thesaurus that came with WordPerfect was much better. In general, Microsoft Office tries to be everything for every possible user, automates many tasks to do things that it thinks I want to do even though I don't, and makes it hard to figure out how to undo them. I am using WordPerfect wherever possible and trying StarOffice. "Thank goodness I get a university discount", When I saw the cost of this, my jaw dropped. I didn't think it would cost so much for Word, PowerPoint, FrontPage and Excel. I went to the university bookstore at my school to see if I could get any kind of discount on it. Thank goodness Indiana University has a contract with Microsoft! About the program now that I've complained about the cost enough... WORD This is the program I use the most because for being a word processing program, it is very versatile. I can write term papers and what not with it, but I can also credit news letters complete with graphics. I have also used it to create invoices with neat graphics. FRONTPAGE I know HTML (one of the languages webpage makers write webpages in), so I pretty much only use this program when I'm trying out something new, like frams. I have also used it to figure out HTML codes for colors, frames, and tables. I had a college instructor who used it to do her entire webpage and it looked pretty good. EXCEL I used Excel to keep track of the money I was spending on gas for 6 months, how many miles I was traveling, where I was traveling, and the cost of gas. I know it sounds like of nerdy, but it really helped me save some money on gas, knowing exactly where to stop when I was on a trip. I also has how many miles I was putting on my car in that 6 months (10,000+ miles), which explained the wear and tear. POWERPOINT I am just beginning to learn this. I didn't realize what a valuable program PowerPoint was until people in some of my college classes gave presentations with it. Man, my poster board presentation was nothing compared to theirs. It is actually a pretty easy program to learn, but the 'little extras' like the animation and extra graphics can take a bit of time. OUTLOOK I use this program to check my school e-mail because I have AOL at home. I like not having to go to the university's website, navigating my way to the mail page, signing it, and going through at least one more link, just to get to my e-mail. This program goes straight to my mailbox with no links, no navigating. ACCESS When I tried to use access to create a database of my CDs, I had a lot of problems. It is probably the only program in this software suite that I think is a total waste of disc space. I have had to use it before, but for me, I can just use Excel to make lists, it is much easier to use. I am really glad that I have Microsoft Office. It has made school a lot easier. I can e-mail documents to my school account, download them, and know they will work with the school software. That saves me from having to reformat the assignment whenever I want to work on it at school.
"Dont' do it!", This is an extremely disappointing product. When I bought a new computer with Windows XP loaded, I was forced to upgrade my previous version of Office to restore all of the functionality. They have added so many 'features' that many things that used to be simple are nearly impossible. It is also extremely intrusive (guessing what you're trying to do), often wrong, and very hard to dissuade. Something as simple as a numbered list with sub-bullets in Word is an exercise in frustration. Creating web pages with Word that used to take me 15 minutes or so are now multi-hour curse-a-thons. Unless your hand is forced, you'll be much happier with the earlier versions of MS Office.

Read this reviews before You buy..."Explodes for no adequately explored reason, very overpriced.", Not only do we continue to buy this overpriced software, but it continues to explode for no adequately explored reason, as well. As long as there was no actual choice, if one had to create Word files, then at least it made sense to use MS Office. However, now there is no reason to continue with the money flushing. StarOffice is a great deal cheaper, works generally the same way, reads and creates Word Excel and PowerPoint files, and is all in all an entirely adequate product. And yes, StarOffice runs on Windows too.
"Costs twice as much as my first car. Get OpenOffice.org.", My first car in 1990 cost $$$ and was worth every penny. Microsoft Office, XP or other, not so much. It's good, but not compared to its price, and therefore not a good choice. If you haven't tried StarOffice or OpenOffice.org yet, or haven't tried the latest release, just do it. Unless you're a turbo macro user, or create feature-length animations in PowerPoint, you're spending a month's rent for nothing by buying MS Office. Plus, as other reviewers have mentioned, with this version you have to register and activate it before it expires. No more MS Office sharing. So anyway, be forewarned about the registration issue, and think about whether it's really worth twice as much as a rusty but dependable Datsun.
"To expensive for what it is", I was about to buy this product since its the one I use at the office, but when I looked at the price I did some research first. Why would I buy it, when I can get very similar alternatives for much less like StarOffice? of even for free (OpenOffice). It does have nice features but most of them I have never used. I have been using OpenOffice for the past 3 months and I haven't missed a feature yet. If you are buying this office suite I would recommend you try OpenOffice first, it could save you a lot of money.
"Why pay $$$ for a new version of Office?", I mean have you ever used more then a fraction of Office features? When my wordpad at hope stopped to recognize office xp file format (which was not a problem with previous version of the office) I lookd for an alternative and I found one, for free: an application package from openoffice.org. 50 MB file reads md .doc format and doeas it all for free and very well.
"THIS IS THE WORST!", I bought this software 8 months ago. My hard drive went bad recently. I tried to install this software again on my NEW hard drive. YOU CAN'T!! I wasted hundreds of dollars on a product I can't use now! I called to have my registration trasfered to my new computer but Microsoft won't let me transfer my registration or have the software on two PC's. WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL! DON'T BUY THIS VERSION! Not only is there the above problem but there are many better programs available, with more advantages, cheaper price and no hassle. I'm not anti-Microsoft but this experience has shown me what this company stands for.
