3.0 out of 5 stars Works 2003, if you are desparate!, October 18, 2002

If you are really cheap or totally bankrupt when it comes to buying a set of productivity tools, here's a saviour or option. This is really low end software and I really don't recommend it, but it is commendable enough to do simple task such typing a one page document, adding numbers in the spead sheet programme. But the database is just not good at all. It's unreliable and not powerful to handle complex task such as creating complex queries or even reports. The product cost forty dollars but if you have an extra thirty dollars, buy Star Office 6.0, if you were to compare that to Works, Star Office would look more like Microsoft Office. It is a full featured productivity suite that includes a satisfactory word processor, spreadsheet, presentation graphics and drawing prgram. The only time I can recall when I really appreciated Works was version 4.5, that was the ultimate works, the Wizards were intuitive and easy to use. It guided you along the way, this really made Works more friendlier and useful than recent versions.So as I said before if you have the extra 30 dollars go for Star Office you won't regret it or just save and buy WordPerfect Office or Microsoft Office.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I need for less than $50!, February 6, 2004

Microsoft Works sometimes gets a bad rap. If you never used it, you may not know that includes a database, spreadsheet, word processor, and more. What's even better, is that the spreadsheet and word processor are compatible with Microsoft Office. So you can save files so that they can be opened in Microsoft Office AND you can open files that someone else sent to you if they were created in MS Word or Excel. This is perfect for the work I do for the humane society that I volunteer for as well as planning my daughter's girl scout troops activities and camping trips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple to use program that works great!, May 21, 2003

Works is the most unfairly maligned program in the Microsoft line-up. People who refuse to pay enterprise-level prices for Office XP often use this at home. I think it is the greatest. The word processor is very functional for everything except business-grade operations ad the database and spreadsheet are about the same. Anyway, I am very very happy with and will continue to use it. The word processor produces text files that are bloated (I must be honest), but XP's built-in zip feature can instanty shrink the size of your file on the disk. Microsoft has done a wonderful job with this program. Try it before you "bash" it.
