"Too much underpowered"
Version: Microsoft Works 9.0
Pros
None I can think of: ever most basic free software alternatives does better what Works does. Ok, it is quite simple to use.
Cons
Why pay for something so sub-par? It would have hard times to get accepted by users even if it was free.
Summary
Seriously MS, you won the Office battle so badly that you killed even your non-Office productivity suite, so why do you continue to waste your resources there?
They would be far better spent joining the open source community and help improving Open Office.
You would have an huge return in terms of image, and you could even roll out (with a smaller effort) a MS Open Office to be preinstalled on low cost computers instead of Works, with better compatibility with Office's formats and look and feel, keeping for MS Office the key features that gives its huge advantage. -

About all it will do is write letters.

"This software is garbage."
Version: Microsoft Works 9.0
Pros
I like nothing about this product. The best part of this product would be a refund.
Cons
I don't like anything about this product. The software has "broken" files, it will not repair when prompted. The software needs to be reinstalled, this has been done several times without success. NOT WORTH IT-DO NOT PURCHASE.
Summary
The only reason this product rates with one star is because less stars was not an option. This product is terribe, not abe to write a simple paper due to broken files. Too much time spent "fixing" software and very little time usinghte software. Repair ilnks not available online. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SOFTWARE-GARBAGE
