Review by Bradley Olin

Many reviewers have gone to the trouble of explaining how the user experience differs from previous versions of office so I won’t re-hash. Having used all of the programs now for a few months, I find that they do mark an improvement from the 2007 interface. I recall many months of frustration trying to adapt to the new changes. Not so this time around. It felt pretty effortless to use the features upon which most normal users rely. The autosave function also didn’t cause crashes like the 07 version…something I’m immensely grateful for.

With each new release of office, I keep hoping for some kind of productivity or streamlined feature that will knock my socks off, but for now, it’s just pretty good. Maybe the next version?
