    There is no improvement in this product, and it is despicable it has to be renewed every year. It took EIGHT HOURS for the Geek Squad to install it. They were nice enough, but there is no excuse for their slow connection and the unpredictability of the software installation.

    I wanted the ASUS laptop but BESTBUY forced Office on me. They wouldn't let the sale go thru unless I gave them a credit card number to AUTO RENEW. This really is a bad business practice. BTW, the ASUS laptop is great.

    Was able to install this software without a problem. Smooth and easy, and it works great. The programs within Microsoft Office are familiar to me since I have grown up using them and have knowledge about them on a PC. This new version of Office 365 on my laptop PC is fantastic. The programs load quickly and work efficiently. I am an at home light to medium user of the Office platform programs. Word works great for me and is so intuitive to be able to navigate and understand. The program allows me to process simple word processing to advanced templates I need for professional looking documents. Excel is great for my purposes of tracking budgets and finances in a simple easy view format. This program allows for so many advanced features that I'm not even fully aware of. I really need to brush up on some online tutorials for unleashing all of Excel's capability. Powerpoint works great for my needs of processing slideshow decks for work related activities. This version of Powerpoint is much better than previous versions I have used about 5 years ago. It allows for smooth and clean presentations and I can make my slides really stand out and keep the attention of an audience. Access is great and took me some time to learn since I don't use it all that much. I can see how Access would be a fantastic database software for business purposes and be able to track so much history and information. Outlook works smoothly and integrated all my emails easily in a simple view. Office 365 is a great suite to make use of business function programs for office or home use. I have truly been enjoying this new version versus the previous versions I have used in the past.

    I had a way to get Office365 for free through my college but it wasn’t included in the price of my laptop so I essentially paid for it even though I didn’t want to or have to. Plus the program itself is kinda pointless and I don’t like it

    If you don't register this within 30 days of purchase good luck talking with customer support for Microsoft to verify. Had the worst time trying to activate the subscription.

    I will be returning the only part of the order I received. I had ordered a computer for my wife for Christmas, along with the MS Office package. I wound up purchasing a computer from another source because you could not deliver. Very disappointed.

    I hate this Microsoft version of Windows. I am glad that I did not buy the permanent one and hopefully they will improve it with a new version that is similar to Windows 7. This version is only good if you have a touch screen laptop. Does not work well with a mouse/touchpad.

    its a bunch of trash programs to go with their goal of grinding out as much cash from you as possible, they aren't interested in a good product or anything beyond pure profits. use google docs for free!

    I accidentally scratched off the code when scratching off the silver tape over top of the code. Nothing that can be done at that point, so $50 down the drain. Had to order another one.

    I purchased this Office 365 as it was recommended along with purchase of a Chromebook for my son. Sadly, it is not mentioned that it can not be installed onto a Chromebook, but since I had already revealed the code all it is doing is collecting dust.
