| 1284598 | 2012-06-30 08:57:00 | Yes Gary, That's where i got mine from. Except that I bought Office Professional as I needed Access and Publisher. I paid for it, and got the download link and the product key and had it all up and running within 1 day. |

| 1284599 | 2012-06-30 09:12:00 | MS Office does not properly handle the Open Document standard so I wouldn't rely on it. That also works the other way , or more to the point doesn't work. Seen it many times Open office or Libre makes a complete shambles of MS documents. I have several here, nothing fancy, just some simple text boxes in a word Document along with plain text, and open office cant even get close displaying them correctly. |

| 1284600 | 2012-06-30 09:17:00 | Because MS goes out of their way to break compatibility (including with their own previous versions) so the sheeple keep on buyin' that Office ... | fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1284601 | 2012-06-30 09:24:00 | Ones I'm using Fred were created on office 2000, and display perfectly on every version of MS Office so far. Theres been more times that I care to remember people have been sent out a document in some other program Eg open Office, and dont bother to save it in a standard format that any suite can open. Its simply people using the program don't know how, and software writers by default always save documents in their formats. Many people have no idea as to how to open these documents, and when you say either ask the sender to send it in another format eg .doc or .docx you get a blank look or if on the phone you hear errrrrrrrrrrrr , or its to hard, and they sure as hell are not going to install Open office simply to read one document. |

There is a very big difference there wainuitech ODF is a standard and open and everyone else apart from MS can implement it properly whereas as far as I know MS can't even write fully their own OOXML format. It sounds like MS Office Ver15 will be the first one and in Win 8 be prepared for a whole load of tiles. |

| 1284604 | 2012-06-30 10:19:00 | The tiles, well yeah, thats the way MS are going at the moment, But you don't have to have them all, or any for that matter. Windows 8 allows you to pin/show any tile you want. The majority of people would only use a few programs, so if they only want word, excel and outlook for example then the others can be hidden under all apps, but still available if required. Been using windows 8 a while now, and got it set up and running very nicely, with only a few apps/tiles on the metro interface, the ones I would use most often. As for office formats - well I give customers,like any OEM builder should MS office for Free, so that gets around that problem. |
