5.0 out of 5 stars Significant Savings, Smooth Installation, June 15, 2010

This review is from: Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Product Key Card

Purchase of a product key card for Microsoft Office 2010 saved me a substantial amount of money, given that I needed only one license. (The CDROM product provides licenses for installation on two computers, e.g., a purchaser's desktop and laptop.)

Office 2010 was not preloaded on my target computer, so I downloaded the software from the web site named in the key card instructions. To get the download, you must enter the product key, which is case sensitive. (You must use caps for the letters in the key.) The web site gives you the option of purchasing a backup CDROM if you're a nervous nellie like me. The web site also gives clear instructions on how to proceed after the download.

The software download (585MB) took about two hours with a relatively slow DSL connection. Installing the software requires the product key to be entered for a second time (include the hyphens). The installation itself took about 15 minutes on a 1.67 GHz netbook, which had a trial version of Microsoft Office 2007 installed that needed to be removed. (The installation screen gave the option of removing a previous Office installation or leaving all or parts of a previous installation on the computer.)

As often happens with Microsoft products, the "installation progress bar" finished a few minutes before the installation itself was finished. The product then required a reboot to finalize the installation. For me, the only really anxious moments involved in the entire operation were the moments spent waiting and watching the screen while the computer was verifying the legitimacy of the product key.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Office Software - Overpriced, July 17, 2011

By 

Mike A (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Office Professional 2010 Product Key Card

I bought this version of Office about a month ago because I needed to learn and start using Access. So far I am pleased with the software and am quite impressed by Access. What I am not impressed with is the extreme overpricing of this, and all Microsoft products by a behemoth software monopoly whose wealth is more than that of some countries. This is not the only, reason that Office 2000 was the last version of Office I've purchased until now. Overpricing and the ridiculously restrictive licensing and activation foolishness that's grown like a cancer in all Microsoft software products over the past decade, as well as most other software companies commercial software these days, make me glad that, with any luck, Ill be retired before having to purchase another version of Office. The product is good, but not worth the price. Shame on you Microsoft.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Update But Too Expensive, April 1, 2011

Shipped and received quickly. Installed without any complications. Love the interface improvements which mostly make existing Office capabilities simpler. Seems pretty expensive for what should have been a more modest upgrade price.
