Microsoft Office XP Professional (Full Product) (Microsoft-26904508)

Reviewed by: MyrnaT3

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: The junk mail filtering in Outlook is the reason I am looking for another copy for my husband's PC.

Weaknesses: Word, while more robust than ever, is still not as good as WordPerfect; and Access still stinks! (I use Lotus Approach.)

Overall Evaluation: If you're sick and tired of wading through junk email, then this version of Outlook, alone, is worth the price of the entire suite -- although you may want to consider a stand-alone copy of Outlook unless you also use PowerPoint, since the rest of the suite ain't so hot. Display customization is easy (and, in my opinion, necessary). Powerpoint is great. It sure would be nice to have a suite that included the WordPerfect word processor, Outlook & Powerpoint from MS, and Approach from Lotus. I had to buy all three suites to get what I wanted.
