Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Product Keycard

I bought 2 of these and received them super fast. Original CD in case. I upgraded from Office 2000 and XP and was it worth it! The reason for the upgrade? I had a system problem with Office 2000 system and outlook and the other programs did not work right after reinstallation. So I decided to upgrade. I first downloaded Microsoft Office 2007 professional trial version and installed it. What nightmare! EVERYTHING had changed- I could not even figure out how to print a document in Word and I have been using Word from its very first version when I switched from WordPerfect! Which NUT at Microsoft decided to make such a radical change? Even the file format was different, saving files as this .docx format which nobody can open unless you have 2007. I went on line and found this baby, noted the reviews and it has been a dream come true. If you are using anything such as XP , 2000 or before, then this is an excellent buy! It installed without a hitch. It deleted the old office program files, imported all the previous settings, e- mails, folders, calendars etc. The new layout of outlook is lovely. Excel, access, PowerPoint, front-page, I could go on, all lovely! I installed it on XP home and Win 2000 systems without a hitch. No need to go to upgrade to 2007 unless you like frustration. For experienced users, this is all you need. If you are NEW to computers or an Office Novice then 2007 will work for you. For the rest of us, Microsoft Office 2010 Professional is Microsoft's best kept secret! Buy it now.

I decided to get this office suite after using it recently. I've usually worked on Office 97 and 2000, but the 2010 version has some pretty cool features not found in the older versions. The feature that I really enjoy is the Pivot Report feature in MS Access, which wasn't in MS Access 2000. This is a truly great reporting feature. You can now use Access as a front-end to slice and dice data stored on data warehouses in Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase and other enterprise-type databases. If you're used to creating crosstab reports, you'll definitely like the Pivot Report feature. Crosstabs are limited to 2 dimensions but there's no limitation on the number of dimensions in Pivot Report. To me, the main drawback is the price. (I did get mine at around $370 at J&R, which is a great price.) I figure I can upgrade this in about 5 years time, which works out to about $70 to $75 per year (assuming that I'll be paying about $370 to upgrade in 5 years time.) A big positive is that this is the industry standard. So the work you put into learning the multiple new features of Word, Excel, MS Access is not wasted because you can reuse the same skills in another job. Your time will be well spent. Note that the software may seem bloated but the intelligent user is able to choose and pick the most useful and relevant features of each application and ignore the features that are not useful. Different features are useful to different people... Another positive: Each product in Office Professional is fully programmable using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) which you can use to build custom programs. This very powerful feature is sometimes overlooked when shopping for Office suites.
