    "It works fine, BUT"

    May 9, 2012  |   By flntlok

    Pros

    Looks like all the goodies of Microsoft's product, and, best of all, it's free.
    Easy to use; simple interface; choice at install as to what products you want to install.

    Cons

    I'm using Windows 7 so that may be the reason for the one problem I have encountered so far. That problem is that the program will not connect to the provider for updates or even to register the product! But, as long as the software does the few things I need it to do - mainly word processing - I have no problem with that.

    Summary

    I just started using this so time will tell.

    Updated on May 16, 2012

    So far the only problem I'm having is the software's inability to update. When I click the update button all I get is a "page no longer available" screen. I assume this is because the program isn't fully compatable with Win7 - which is my OS. But it works fine otherwise.
