5.0 out of 5 stars R.I.P. CD February 7, 2012

By J. The Consumer

Platform for Display:Mac Download|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is actually the third time I've bought a piece of software digitally through Amazon, which makes three less useless CDs I have to find room for after the initial installation. The first piece I bought is years old, but it remains in my "Digital Library" in my account. It's nice to know it's always there for me should I need it, but it's even nicer to know that I have the software without the garbage and clutter that accompanies the physical hardware.

Traditionally (prior to 2009ish) I always felt that I needed the actual disks "just in case". Like so many things in life, I've spent too many worthless moments preparing for some dark day that has yet to come (KNOCK ON WOOD!) Perhaps it was just easier to justify the $150 when I actually had something to hold in my hand. But the program works as it always has for me. It's Excel, Word, etc...just as they have always been on cd. The download guides one to install the Amazon downloader, then the Microsoft installer takes over to guide you the rest of the way. It's all very well managed, the instructions are quite basic (double click this blinking icon, enter the digital license AMZ provides you with at purchase, etc.). It's nice too that the number is stored with the name of the title in your Digital Software locker for all of time should you so need it. The program told me it could take over 1 hour to install, but mine took a MacBook Pro with a cable modem connection less than 15 minutes.

Someday movies themselves are going to the cloud. Video games too. Do yourself a favor and take the simple, well-guided step to the future by digitally downloading this software if you're in the market for it; there's no reason not to. Amazon and Apple will always guide you to a soft landing, but even Mr. Softy himself (Microsoft) has managed to put his best foot forward on this one. And as for the software itself, you know it, it's yours...MS Office. Some of the very best code ever put to pixel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Convenience! February 12, 2012

By M. Haney

Platform for Display:Mac Download|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am getting better at purchasing digital downloadable software. I experienced no delays or problems. It only took a few minutes using my high speed internet connection. I also have the assurance that my software in in my digital library should I ever need to download it again.
I am one of those people that is used to Microsoft Office and have had a difficult time moving to the iWork package. There are things I like and dislike about both programs, however, I prefer the Office product over iWork.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great product but Outlook is slower March 1, 2012

I like this product and would recommend it. The only problem i have is that it reacts slower in Outlook. It seems Outlook is not as good as Entourage.
