On the product spec. page at Amazon it said it works with Windows Vista but nothing about Windows 7. I have Windows 7 with 64 bit and it works great. It is so easy to use and so many other features with the templates and programs that are easy also.

5.0 out of 5 stars faster than microsoft office word, June 2, 2008

After struggling with Microsoft Word 2007, I immediately ordered Microsoft Works 9.0 simply because it is easy to handle and I love some of the updates that has been added. I love the way it saves your letters and documents. It has a lot of other great features as well. You can make your own personal stationary, all occasion cards, budgets, and personal business forms etc. I especially love the history tab which helps me to find all of my letter/documents or anything else that I might have saved. It is easy to change letter size, and style or to print letters in different color ink.

When I bought a new computer it came with microsoft office word 2007. It was too complicated when you just want a simply letter or want to add headers and footers to your letter. I will have to take a class or take some time to learn microsoft word 2007. That is what I love about Microsoft Works 9.0 it is very easy to manuver without a lot of reading and studying. For me, it is self explanatory. Although, almost every company and most of my teachers wants me to use microsoft office word 2007, I generally get permission to use Microsoft Works 9.0 because Microsoft Word 2007 is too time consuming if you don't know how to use it or you don't have the time to learn it -- it becomes a waste of time.

Yes, I would highly recommend Microsoft Works 9.0 because it is a great product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delete the old version before installing!, February 10, 2009

I've always liked the programs available on Microsoft Works. Word of advice: If you've just bought a computer and the time has run out on the sample Microsoft Works, make sure you delete the sample version before trying to download your new one. I incorrectly assumed that when I downloaded the purchased version, it would automatically overwrite the sample version. There are no instructions in my purchased version telling me to delete the old version, and nothing happened when I inserted the new program disc into my laptop. Very frustrating!
