    We have this installed on two Windows 8 computers. Our older machines had the 2007 version, which was fully satisfactory. I haven't noticed much difference between the old and the new.

    We had the previous version and loved it. Our old computer crashed and we had used up all of our licenses for the previous one. We purchased this with our computer so we saved $20 during a sale they were running. It was quick and easy to install. It's quick and responsive on our computer. I love the new additions and ways you can customize this now! There were a few things that moved/changed, so it took me a little bit to find them. Now, I love it!

    Works like any other office suite. I wish it wasn't so expensive, and the paying by year idea is silly.

    I purchased this product for a new PC in our vacation home. My tech friend who works for HP set it up for me - she says it great. I have a 2008 PC at home with Office Home & Student 2007 which was installed with a disk - I find the 2007 version is still very useful. My friend said the 2013 version is even easier to install. I can hardly wait to use the new PC/Office 2013 in our vacation home.I may have to buy the 2013 inversion for my home PC!

    I didn't want the cloud based program but ended up with it anyway since this did not have all the features of Excel 2013 that I needed or wanted. I wanted the Power Pivot, Power Map of Excel and it doesn't come with this edition. I had to purchase the Business Pro for those features. This is ok for basic Home stuff but not for Business.

    I hate being pushed toward saving document on the cloud. Limiting install to one computer is cheap.

    We purchased a new computer and it was necessary to also purchase this office software. We had a very old version on our previous computer and are pleased with this updated version.

    My husband recently went back to school so we got him a new laptop. The home computer was at least 7 years old so we updated it as well. We did not know that the Office it came loaded with was temporary, so we needed to add the software in order to complete homework. We ordered from Amazon, but it would not load. We rushed to Best Buy and purchased another copy and it loaded very easily. The only down side is that it is only for one item.

    once installed, good word/office program, but installation was a NIGHTMARE!!!!!! It took Geek Squad 3+ hours to install, and that was after I input all info correctly from the card (not a CD) and was then not recognized by their site. I will only buy programs using a CD-install after this.
