Review by Peace Daddy

I have to hand it to Microsoft for Office 2008’s ease of installation. Usually, when I purchase any sort of Microsoft product, I’m stuck dealing with all sorts of ridiculous issues and errors before I even get to try it out. With Office 2008, everything installed without a hitch and I was able to start using it in no time. As far as functionality and features go, this one is hit or miss. I’ve had no issues with PowerPoint or Word, which are the programs I use the most. Excel, on the other hand, is mysteriously missing features that are integral to the overall usefulness of the program. This is baffling, and there really is no excuse for it. Thankfully in my case, Excel isn’t a necessity, but if it’s something you’ll need to make use of, you might want to reconsider before purchasing Office 2008.
