    I use office constantly, when bringing up new templates I noticed that the home addition doesn't have as many choices as the business one. That was a bit disappointing. Still playing with the one at home so I am sure there is more to discover.

    This subscription version of Office is essentially the same as the version you're used to. It's just a different pricing structure. If you always like to have the latest version of Office on your machine you may find this to be a good value.

    I have been avoiding going this route as i was opposed to "renting" my software. My windows needed updating so finally looked seriously at benefits. The best is now having windows with me all the time even with no pc with me.

    Attaching documents has been a challenge. New format and choices are different than last version I had before. Program loaded with no problem and Best Buy sent the necessary download via email.

    I got this for my sons computer and it worked the first couple of times but now he receives an error when trying to use it. There is suppose to be some type of setting I need to change to fix it but I haven't had the time to mess with it yet.

    Average value. Comes bundled with the core produts like Word/Excel/PP. Wished it was priced slightly lower given its only 3 month subscription.

    Not happy with the loss of all contacts in old office, this is NOT good as there were 4yrs of accumulated contacts info that will have to be rebuilt one at a time. the transfer should have taken this into consideration in upgrading.

    Right after the one year warranty you will start having issue with the laptop. When you can HP support they will ask to to pay them money to help install a stupid driver in your PC. Beware!

    I have not been able to use it because of Security issues with Microsoft. Microsoft has been absolutely terrible to work with. You cannot ever talk to a person. I have always been a Microsoft Fan until now.

    This came with my new tablet, I don't like the fact you have to pay a monthly fee so I will be using another office program. I believe these companies doing this are going to lose customers, Photoshop is doing the same thing and I won't be using them either.

    Not a fan of the yearly subscription. The guy who helped us out in the store did not mention it was a yearly subscription instead of the one time price option that we were interested in. Be careful!

    What can I say, it's Windows

    Windows Office is Windows Office, It's a good product, always has been. The fact that you get automatic upgrades compensates for the fact that you cannot buy the program outright, but must lease it for a year at a time.

    Not sure, it does not seem to be operating properly. Before i give a low rating, i am going to have somebody smarter look at and make sure it is not operator error.

    I really don't like having to login to my account for updates, etc. The software is fine though. I'd rather purchase a disk because I live out in the country and don't always have connection.

    Microsoft Outlook 2016 Over-rated

    Outlook 2007 was working just fine until one day...brought the computer in to get "fixed" and the next thing I know...I'm buying a new computer. OK...it gets better. Owning this new computer for less than 3 days the SAME malfunction began to occur. When Outlook was operating, my computer shut down. The computer was in the shop for almost TWO WEEKS. Fortunately for me, Chris Lloyd of Avon researched the problem and fixed the malfunction. I'm happy to have my computer back...but not so happy with Outlook 2016 [or Windows 10 for that matter].

    I realize that the young people will just get on a computer and explore until they figure out how to use it. For us technologically challenged baby boomers we would like a manual with quick start instructions.

    As expensive as office software has gotten it is nice to know that you can still get a good deal without sacrificing value. Not very easy to use if you are not proficient with Microsoft Office.
