I'm nicely impressed :), July 21 2010

Excellent product. Great upgrade frrom Office 2003 I was using. Service from Amazion was great!

I finally made the move from Office 2003 to Office 2010 - bypassed office 2007. I run a small 1 person consulting company and the office suite is critical to my operations. First, I looked at the available combinations and settled on Office Home and Business package since it provided me with two key products - Outlook and OneNote along the bread and butter applications Word, Excel and PowerPoint.I was prepared for the regular struggle in installing the suite, so backups and documentation were created. I then started the install and I chose to leave my copy of Access 2003 and Publisher 2003 in place and install the remaining 2010 software. Both of these products still run fine on my PC.In a nutshell, the install was painless - the software installed without any problems. Outlook had all the configuration, add-ins and changes I had created over the last 7 years. Nothing was missing. I use an IMAP account for my email and it indicated that it would have to be re-created...

Having recently bought a laptop and being in need for relevant software to set up my own home business, I decided to 'jump in the deep side' and purchase the newly released MSOffice Home and Business 2010 rather than the already tried and tested 2007 version. And I have not looked back since.Have also only recently got the hang of the 2007 version which is quite different to the 2003 issue with which I have been working over the past few years. 2010 is not that different from 2007 - thank goodness - but has some interesting features ... only a few that I have not quite as yet figured out but will, in time, no doubt.Overall, I am very happy with MSOffice 2010, its performance and easiness to use and can definitely recommend it to interested parties.
