Average Rating: Rating: - Great upgrade I have been using the Office XP Beta for several months. The icons highlight better, the task panes are very helpful, especially in PowerPoint, and the applications run snappier, although a speedy PC always helps. The most interesting feature with the largest potential is Smart Tags. Many are built into the applications, and they allow the user access to many commands right at the point of need as opposed to having to use the menus. As more people develop Smart Tags, they will be available for downloads and installation on any PC. With the capability of Smart Tags, almost any feature or function whether local or over the Internet can be implemented. Many previously custom developed applications can now be implemented with small amounts of Visual Basic code implemented as Smart Tags. Smart Tags can even be implemented in Internet Explorer with Microsoft free Web Components. The two negative features. One is on-line registration which will limit flexibility in where Office XP is installed. The second is the fact the Outlook 2002 will not allow emails containing exe, vbs, or 11 other extensions to be read. These attachments are held by Outlook and not available to the receiving user to stop the spread of viruses. There should be a way to override this, but the release version allows no override. Rating: - If you can and must upgrade, then purchase this version. In the interests of full disclosure, my thanks to Microsoft for providing me with a subscription copy of Office XP. I wouldn't own XP if I had to pay for it. The new features in XP, be they useful (like better document recovery), bearable (like the activation procedure), or merely easily disabled (like task panes), simply do not provide a compelling reason for most users to upgrade. This software costs slightly less than my first car did... would that I could spend that kind of money on non-essentials! So who should upgrade? I would say that group consists mostly of large businesses looking to take advantage of XP's new collaboration features and owners of Office 97 Small Business Edition who would like one of the applications not contained in that package. And why this version? Because it contains EVERYTHING, including a very cool mouse, and it's only available for a limited time. In parting, shame on Microsoft for continuing their trend of ridiculously understated and actually steep system requirements. You really do need a new system (P-3/Athlon, 128MB RAM, and a 17" monitor) to get the most from this software - given the wide install base of 64MB Celerons with 15-inch screens, this is a travesty. Linux anyone? Rating: - Trust me It's great!! - Andre Da Costa I recently went to a friends house and found out they had XP running on their machines and wasn't I amazed. The application that startled me the most was PowerPoint it is just fantastic with the new animations, this will make any audience say "WOW". The applications are also great with a much improved user interface, other improved applications are Publisher which is also my favourite application next to PPT. The other apps. such as Access and FrontPage hasn't changed a lot but they do look great with minor user interface improvements. With the look and feel of this version of Office you would surely even wan't to upgrade from 2000, thing for me is I don't have anymore money I already spent it buying Office 2000. But for those of 95,97 and even 98 it's worth the upgrade. My friends machine run's Win2k so he's O.K. I heard that it won't run on Win95, but that shouldn't be a problem just buy the upgrade for Win98 [it's cheap] and your done. Other nice features are Smart Tags, Task Panes they help a lot especially when it comes to doing school work. The only time I'm going to upgrade is in 2002 when WinXP arrives. Other products you should also try is MS Portfolio 2002 with hundreds of templates. One missing app. I miss so dearly is PhotoDraw, it was discontinued [shame on you Microsoft].
