Microsoft Office Small Business 2003 [OLD VERSION] Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: Thank you all
Comment: Most of you confirmed exactly what I thought I would find. So far this year everything from Microsoft that I have tried has been a mess. Because I have been having problems with Outlook 2003 I thought it might be worthwhile to upgrade. Instead, I am off to google mail. Thanks for saving be $300 bucks.

Summary: Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003
Comment: We've enjoyed using our Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003. It would have been nice if they had included Microsoft Access, but that package was much more expensive. I do like the fact that they included Publisher in the small business edition. So far, we have had no problems with this software.

Summary: Very confusing!
Comment: I used to type brochures using Microsoft Word. It was a hassle, so I decided to try Publisher 2003. After several hours simply trying to get a specific yet simple template set up, I gave up in frustation. Most disappointing!

Summary: Good Software - Very Poor Loading Instructions
Comment: This is about our 5th version of Office and we have also gone through at least 3-4 versions of several other Microsoft programs. Like most Microsoft packages, we are very pleased with the functionality of each of the software programs and find each new version more powerful and easier to use and manuever through than the last.

However, loading the software is a different story. Loading the Office disc was no problem. Loading (or trying to load) Service Pack 2 was another story. After more than 3 hours of trying to load the disc, error messages, getting on Microsofts Help website, following very confusing override instructions and still coming back to the same error message each time, we finally gave up. Is Service Pack 2 loaded? We have no idea! Do we care? No. Is our Office package working? We think so. What does Service Pack 2 do? Your guess is as good as ours!

All we know is that we are obviously NOT the first to experience this problem (nor is this the first time we have had problems loading corrections to a Microsoft program). As in the past, the "Fix" instructions from Microsoft seam to have been written by some Computer Geek at Microsoft who never leaves their cubical and speaks only to his computer. They certainly have never mastered (or come close to figuring out) the english language. So, as with our past programs, the "Fix" disc will go on the "Too Hard To Load Pile" with other Microsoft fixes. And, like the others, will likely never be missed!

Summary: Simplfied Form of Review
Comment: 5 simple words: Great Product, but TOO expensive. It is very hard for all people to pay $300+ on this product. I would recommend it though if you could afford it.

Gets 5 stars for product itself
Gets 1 star for the cost-value.

Average = 3 stars
