If you own a computer then I don't need to explain what Microsoft Office is. The word processing, email organizing, spreadsheet creating, and power point presenting office suite has done it yet again! Microsoft has come from what was once just a word processor to a complete office suite of useful applications. If your familiar with Office and haven't upgraded yet, than I bet your wondering what's new?
What's New With Microsoft Office 2010?
Depending on what version of the Office suite you purchase, this will determine exactly what's in the box. It looks like the designers of Office have put a lot more effort into the look and feel of Office 2010. Not only is it "prettier", but they've also made tools and functionality a lot more accessible throughout the suite. For instance, in Office 2010, Outlook has gotten a complete overhaul making the application so much easier to use, easy to add accounts, create signatures, manage contacts and update your calendar. Word and Excel have a great tabbed design making all the other features easy to find. Each tab displays all the different functions and tools you can use in your documents or spreadsheets. Another great application in the suite that doesn't get much attention is One Note. One Note is a planner and note taking application. This makes it so much easier for a quick post-it entry and for managing your schedule.
Should I Upgrade?
Coming from Office 2007 myself I have to admit I was a bit weary on upgrading to the new 2010. My concerns were migrating my email over, and usability. If you currently are using Office 2007 you won't be seeing to much of a startling difference, but if your a pre '07 user than I believe you'll need sometime to learn where everything is at. Regardless, I can tell you that I enjoy the software, it was simple to move my mail over, I lost no data and now I am a 2010 believer.
