My favorite part of the suite is Microsoft Office 2010 . You can use it like a fancy clipboard, but Office 2010 is much more powerful and useful.So, I'm forced to pay for an upgrade to Microsoft Office that I did not want.For the price, you can't go wrong with Outlook 2010 Home & Student. And, I may or may not be able to use the Product Key on the package I purchased to activate only Word, Excel, Microsoft outlook 2010PowerPoint and OneNote, the programs I thought I was buying. The only answer was to go to MS Office, or have everyone else in the world switch to Office 2007 .The instructions on the Microsoft website for activating Office imply that the full Microsoft Office 2007 Professional suite is the only version eligible for proper licensing.
