Microsoft Office XP makes it sooo easy for you to complete what you need to get done in less time. Microsoft has defeinitely expanded use-ability in this product. Way To Go Microsoft.


2 out of 5 stars Office 2000 is better   June 1, 2001
 25 out of 27 found this review helpful

Microsoft is still successfully putting out their fabulous Office suite. Office 2000 was the perfect piece of software. In my experience, it was reasonably stable, had great options, and ran efficiently. I couldn't imagine anything else that needed to be added. Unfortunately, Office XP is a lot slower and just doesn't have such a polished feel to it like 2000 does. It feels overly bogged down with unnecessary graphics (especially on the menus) and is a lot slower than 2000.

Sure, its still a good product and I only give it 2 stars by comparison to 2000. There is absolutely no reason to upgrade! Don't get tricked by Microsoft. If you are buying Office for the first time, see if you can find a copy of 2000 somewhere.


4 out of 5 stars Would have been 5 stars!   May 31, 2001

I've been demoing XP for about 1/2 a year now, I rarely had any problems concerning Office. Cosmetically, it has changed (aka, the menus, etc) Very stable! Would have given it a 5 star rating, but the price is just too high. Corporate users can afford it and would benefit from it, but people like me would have to skip a car payment..

Would not buy unless an "upgrade" price is offered.


4 out of 5 stars A solid and reliable product... but for how much?!   May 17, 2001

I've been trying out Office XP and have appreciated the enhanced features and the improved reliability of the software. If you work in an office environment or do a lot of office work at home, you will experience this software and the experience won't be so bad. But ... for an upgrade? Ouch! Definitely not for the home user.

If you want a similar experience for less, consider WordPerfect Office Suite 2002 or, better yet, StarOffice 5.2. Both are less expensive, compatible with Office 2000 and have similar features. In particular, StarOffice 5.2 can be downloaded for free.
