Yep the Microcrap product.

i have it - but that is because i got the full version with publisher etc for 18 quid
it takes a bit of getting used too - but
outlook is better
MS Publisher is good
Excel works fine
Access is a pain as always
Word is ok....
is it worth the money to buy - nope
is it worth it if you can get it cheap - possibly
does it do anything that office 2003 doesn't do - nope
is open office a better option for most people - yes

Especially when you can run it on any computer, with your settings and documents, by loading it onto your flash drive and running it from there.

Why is Access a pain? Access is wonderful

Nod nod, peeps often tend to one or the other
- I'm an excel numptie really - I only use it to send access results to my internal customers, I use the db to run heirarchies

Funny innit? I used to have Access on my old machine, and used albeit in a fairly limited way. Can't get on with Excel at all!

I haven't used Office 2007 at all, but TLoML uses it for her course work. From what I can gather, she's happy enough with it.
I'm waiting for Office 2008 for the Mac. I expect it will be here in 2009 or so.

Maybe to use Access you have to be able to multi-task Bobbi
