    I just bought a new computer and since I needed the software I purchased it at Best Buy. This is for my home use and look forward to using Excel for home bookkeeping and other simple tasks. I need to learn to use all the other tasks I can do so should be interesting but I know there is help available if I need it. That is a comfort!

    If you need office and you don't need Microsoft Publisher, then this is the version to get. I got it on a black friday deal so the price was right -- for office, but still it is a shame we have to pay as much as we do for this software when Google Docs is free.

    So many people say: "...there are too many other similar products out there; most of them are compatible, and a lot of them are free!" Well, while I know that is true, and I'll admit I've tried a few of them, but I have yet to find one that measures up to "Office" in any meaningful way! If all you need to do is write a "Thank You" note to Grandma, (...does ANYONE do that anymore?), or slam off a speedy "snail-mail" complaint that your corn flakes get too soggy too quickly, or maybe you need to keep track of how much "Kibbles" your poodle is consuming; maybe then one of those "wannabe-Office" products will work for you. They don't work for me. Transitions from one version to the next are sometimes a bit mysterious, (at least they are to me...), but the "New" version always seems to be a worthwhile improvement, and, the end product is ALWAYS worth it! I've been using "Excel" since some time in the mid-80's, (...trying to remember the name of the product it "evolved" from, but it won't come to me...), the one thing I know is that I KNOW I couldn't live without it now! At one time, some folks considered me a bit of an "Excel Guru", but I plateaued early...

    Getting Office 13 was the reason I upgraded my computer. My old one wouldn't support it. I have access to other word processing/spreadsheet programs, but office is my favorite. I suggest getting the geek squad to install since it has some issues with Windows 8 stuff on my new computer. They were there to help me get it up and going.

    I need Office for my paperwork so had to get this. Price is high in my opinion. At times things are difficult to figure out or do (editing and emailing files for example). Perhaps just my learning curve.....I haven't used it very long on my new touch laptop.

    Standard Microsoft program

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've used Microsoft programs for years and I do not like the new way Microsoft is selling their office programs! No longer do you receive a hard copy cd to download the programs which means you must have Internet connectivity, which of course I do but my father doesn't, not to mention that if there is a glitch in the connectivity it screws up the download process. I had to manually delete this program numerous times because it failed to download properly and wouldn't allow me to open the programs! All in all it was a huge hassle and very time consuming! Plus the price is ridiculous! $120 for one computer to have the standard student edition! I have two computers and am only allowed to use this program on one, ridiculous!

    Product is good, though overpriced like everything else Microsoft. Account setup required to download the 'digital copy' was a lot more than needed, heavy-handed DRM at work here. There are equivalent products available for less money and hassle, some even free.

    It was easy to install. Basically you buy a key and then download office from the internet. It's my first time using Office 2013. For me it is easier to use the older version but with time we'll see.

    Purchased a laptop specifically to use the Microsoft Office Home software. I use Excel for multiple things, it is indeed the greatest spreadsheet program ever created. The software package is somewhat pricey, but worth it for it's capability and fuctionality.
