 Not any better than older version. September 26, 2003
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
I purchased this suite hoping to upgrade from my old 2001 suite, only to find that its not much of an upgrade. The Works task launcher is nice looking and easy to use and Word is also easier to use. But lets get to the trouble spots in Encarta and Picture It. Encarta's upgrades are only cosmetic and you have to "join" club Encarta to get updates, something you did not have to do in older versions. Why do I need to join ? Picture It, another program I loved in the older version, is now a stripped down version with minimal editing and touchup tools. But don't worry, you'll be able to get all the features of older versions, if you upgrade to the $99 pro version. Tools such as clone and blending brushes and color matching tools are missing. Streets & Trips is practically identical to the 2001 version. In 3 years microsoft could'nt come up with something new like 3D views of map areas and statistical info of the zoomed area. Things like customizable tool tips that display population, number of rest stops, restaurants, ect would be nice and easier than typing in what you need to see everytime. The Money program is pretty good but does'nt do much more than older versions either. So if you like pretty interfaces and aren't picky about content get this suite, otherwise don't.
 Great home product! September 15, 2003

I love this bundle! I have worked with MS Publisher, Excel, Quicken, and Access and this does all those things for a LOT less. Works is definately the workhorse here, but I absolutely love the Money program. I am amazed at how detailed I can get with my money planning. As a PTA stay at home mom I use every program in here to do school projects, and Picture it! is so easy with my digital camera. Encarta's encyclopedia will be great for my son's homework, and I'm already planning trips with the Streets program. I couldn't be happier and so far I haven't had one error or problem

Most people that write need Word - Microsoft's Word Processing Program. It is also found in Office - but many times the average family user does not need Powerpoint or Excel, but want general programs such as Money, Street Finder, an advanced Paint-photo publishing program and Word!! Picture It is Microsoft's publishing photo program and usually cost around $60. You get that Word, Money, Street Finder, and Encarta! All for a price coasting 1/3 or less of Office. This is amazing and just perfect for family use or student use.So if you need Word but gulp at the price of Office this is a very good alternative! Picture-it is a nifty program that does many of the same things Javc's PSP does, but in a for much easier for the casual learner to pick up. It has many create your own templates, such as cards and letter heads. The photo handling and effect are super. So this is work every penny.
