The good: Boasts more collaboration tools than previous versions; new data recovery tools help prevent lost work; speech recognition lets you dictate and vocally navigate through Office apps.
The bad: Requires 210MB of disk space; won't work with Windows 95; most enhancements and additions are better suited for groups than individuals.
The bottom line: Microsoft Office XP's online and collaborative tool improvements make it a smart upgrade for businesses and groups, but it's not worth the cost, time, and effort for single or home users.

Summary: In Office 95-2000, I could format text from the keyboard (no mouse). Not in XP: It has a horrendous un-navigatable task pane. Same obnoxious overkill for starting a new document. XP's task pane is every bit as bad as the "happy paperclip" useless help animation, but you can't work around the task pane. Do NOT buy Office XP. Find a version of Office 2000.

Summary: I guess the mostregretable action I ever done is using Microsoft Office. Practically I'm tie down to it forever and keep paying thru my nose (for upgrades) just to be compatible with other people. I'm really tired nad frust. I guess using StarOffice is not that bad after all. I still get my job done on time ! MS Office do offer a lot of features to the user but more often than not usually I only use 15% of the features..so why should I pay for the 75% features that I don't need it ?
