Even with the negative reviews I decided to purchase this product because I had to have it like Yesterday. One of the bad reviews had mentioned getting an error message about the 32 Bit Version error coming up when installing. Well the same thing happened to me and the problem was that with my new computer there was already a trial version of this product on the computer so I uninstalled the version that came with the computer then when I went to install this product I had no problem so hopefully this will help anyone else that comes across that same problem. The product installed perfectly and works great. Hope this is helpful. Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010 - 1 User-2 PC [Download]
This is the 64-bit downloadable edition of the venerable Microsoft Office suite of programs. It makes some improvements on the "2007" version of the suite, though the changes from "2007" to "2010" are considerably more minor than the changes from the "2003" edition to "2007." The Office suite now uses a large top-of-the-screen "ribbon" interface, which for some is a blessing and for some a curse. The available menus within each of the programs (Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.) are supposed to be at least somewhat context sensitive, but I have found myself customizing the menus so that the functions I use most often are more or less universally available. In Word, the "comment" features are a bit improved, and the Outlook calendar functions are, while similar to the 2007 edition, much improved from the 2003 version. One final note: the 64-bit edition allows users to open very large spreadsheets and other files, but has some interaction issues with certain other programs (e.g., my X-1 Desktop Search program).
After researching Office 2010, Amazon had the best price and with free delivery, I had it within a week. I downloaded it on two of three computers that can be done and it was seamless and easy to do without tech. help needed. Haven't tried all the new stuff that comes with it but it is pretty easy to learn. Just keep pointing and clicking and you'll find whatever you need. I highly recommend 2010 as a very good upgrade over 2003 and 2007 that I had on two PC's.
Upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2010. Needed the new video production features in PowerPoint. My upgrade from Office 2003 to 2007 was not pretty. Total new interfaces took a long time to learn--but finally worth it. This time not much at all new to learn. Also, my fear of loosing saved emails in Outlook was needless--very smooth transition to Outlook 2010 with NO loss of data. Word, Excel, and Powerpoint 2010 all SEEM to be a bit faster and more stable. Only major problem with the upgrade was that the Amazon.com downloader did NOT work--and Amazon was of no help in fixing their problem. But with the product key I bought from Amazon.com I was able to down load the new Office from a Microsoft site.
based on a few negative reviews from other sites and on Amazon.com, I put off purchasing Office 2010, waiting for the kinks to be worked out. But, having bought it I think they were wrong, and the users did not to cause the problems than they realized, as I downloaded the 64 bit version, installed it and have worked very well in all the applications with no errors happening.
Microsoft Office Home & Business 2010 - 1 User-2 PC [Download] I downloaded the software. When I attempted to get into Word; Excel; & Other Items, I received a message that the download could not be completed because the item was 32-bit and there were 64-bit items online. Spoke w/a Tech Rep who worked with me to correct the situation unsuccessfully. She has given me information on how to contact Microsoft Customer Service which I have yet to do. The problem appears to be Microsoft's. I was completely satisfied with the response and help of the Amazon.com Tech. Rep.
I had Home and Student 2007 but I decided to upgrade because of Outlook. The Outlook part of this suite is an excellent email provider. You have everything you need to stay organized daily. This software is marketed as a Home Office/Business software but if you like organization this is the product for Home Use as well. I highly recommend it! The Office suite update from 2007 t0 2010 was minor.
This product downloaded well with no kinks. Although I was used to Office 2007, Office 2010 has quite a few changes to it and is taking a while to pick up on all the different changes. I would not recommend this to a novice user. It is not user friendly.
Product works just fine once you actually get it installed. My problems was the amazon downloader kept malfunctioning to the point it took over half a day before I had the software installed. I bet it downloaded the 900MB item 5-6 times and failed to launch the installer all but the last time. I was truly at my wits end; regretting I had even tried this method. I am not sure why everyone insist on having their own downloader these days; it's like windows users do not know how to download anything. If you need a special key to install the software then whats up with the extra downloader. Why not keep it simple and provide an iso image or executable? You know an executable is the same way Microsoft handles it on their website. I should have just purchased it directly from Microsoft and yes I would have paid more for the software but it would have took less of my time and time is money. I am not sure I'll do try to download windows based software anymore until I have an option to bypass the super downloader. Amazingly enough I have downloaded mac software from amazon several times and not once had a problem. There was no special downloader needed just a simple file downloaded via a browser, like the good old days. - Word'
