Review by Al Price

It’s irritating that Microsoft is stopping support for Windows XP, and is essentially forcing everyone to either Windows 7 (W-7) or Windows 8 (W-8). But it’s even more irritating that if you go to W-8 and still want Microsoft Office YOU HAVE TO ALSO BUY A NEW COPY OF MICROSOFT’S OFFICE 2013, even though I already have Office ‘97, 2000, 2007, and 2010 ! Windows 8 will ONLY WORK WITH OFFICE 2013 ! Having used all of the mentioned previous versions of MS Office, why in the heck do I not only have to buy the 2013 version —– but then have to re-learn how to do what I was able to do easily with the previous versions? It took anoth $50 book on Office 2013, but now I am at least able to stumble around reasonably well in 2013. If you have a choice, stay with W-7 instead of moving to W-8 and having to learn a whole new operating system AND A WHOLE DIFFERENTLY OPERATED OFFICE PROGRAM!
