Office 2010 - Runs easily, smoothly and quickly with Windows 7

Having stayed in private beta version since March 2010 Windows 7 use and always parallel OpenOfficeOrg have given a chance here my experience with the final version. In my company the Großkundenendversion of Office2010 is installed on the first computer in the KW20 / 2010. Who knows the last beta version, by the way, not expecting anything new moving in the final version. In this review I will confine myself to the "Home and Student full version" components.
The Advantages:
+ In this version, Office Home and Student 2010, three licenses are included. So you can legally operate 3 privately used PCs / notebooks in the same household with them. The office suite is future-proof as long as there are Windows 7 (and experience shows that even with the successor system).
+ The "Home and Student" version includes Word 2010 (word processing), PowerPoint 2010 (presentations), Excel 2010 (spreadsheet), OneNote 2010 (Notebook for text, image, video and audio notes).
+ Office 2010 reads the files / formats of all older Office versions a problem-free and accurate. It can save them in earlier versions of Office 2007 through Office 2003, XP, 2000 to Office 97 and Works 6 -. 9
+ Can save any Office file formats also in PDF format, in XML, HTML, XPS, in RTF.
+ Can save Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the file format of OpenOffice and this file format read from OpenOffice Writer, Calc and Impress documents. Here, the converter works significantly better than that of OpenOffice, 100% identical layout (especially with presentations) there was not anyway, minimal "manual labor" was still needed.
+ Is significantly faster in charge of the program and the documents as the free OpenOffice.
+ Does not Java for a proper integration such as OpenOffice. Java is a security risk wg for me. the permanent security vulnerabilities and the functional principle. In addition, you can at installertem Java, so to speak "on the router's firewall by" eavesdrop secretly, including the real IP of the PC for subsequent attacks. Googling times for "Browserspy.dk".
+ Is simply the standard worldwide for word processing "DOC and DOCX," spreadsheet "XLS and XLSX" presentations "PPT and PPTX" documents. This is important when exchanging files among different users.
+ PowerPoint 2010 presentations have even more effects as before. Because there are now so many ways to suit every taste and occasion is sure to be something.
+ PowerPoint provides animated GIFs in PPS slideshows as fast as in an image viewer. Here OpenOffice is very slow and the slideshow will be shown also partially incorrect.
+ With Word I have created a 500-page private Documentation, with references, table of contents, automatic numbering, images, tables, cross-references. So there a file size of 900 MB. This Word was always working quickly, no layout dismemberment, converted also was in the right in the PDF format.
+ The operation is really easy and intuitive. The ribbon-work bar is logically structured, significantly improved compared to Office 2007. Who out of habit, the old menu bar of Office versions before 2007 like better, which can reset the Command tab of Word, Excel, PowerPoint on the classic menus and toolbars. Just a free for home users install AddOn (googling for "UBitMenu"). UBitMenu install than current users without administrator rights, otherwise in the Ribbon bar of the menu item "Menu" = the old Office2003 menu is not generated.
+ The functions of all applications is extremely extensive.
+ Runs stable like Office 2007. I had previously not crash because Office. OpenOfficeOrg fell quite in the same period from a few times. Mag also be because the Office 2010 Office is the first that has been programmed for Windows 7.
+ Works rapidly even on my laptop with only 2 GB RAM and loads quickly. OpenOffice, which lasts forever felt.

- It costs money. You have to buy it.
(-) Not contain Outlook 2010. But as a free e-mail program, please visit Microsoft yes Live Mail to download.

Tips:
- The PC / laptop must not have 2 GB of RAM. More is needed not for Office 2010 with Windows 7. My 4 GB quad-core 64-bit Windows 7 PC works with Office 2010 felt no faster than my 2GB 32-bit Windows 7 notebook.
- Uninstall all older Office versions earlier.
- Also, users of 64-bit versions of Windows 7 would be better to install only the 32-bit version of Office 2010. So it made in my company the admins. This version is 100% compatible with the current add-ons, Visual Basic applications, Excel templates and many existing Excel applications, such as insurance and car Cost Calculator Stiftung Warentest. In the 64-bit version of Office 2010, the previous 32-bit file formats, Visual Basic applications, add-ons, etc. do not run!
The 64-bit version is only useful and brings benefits when file sizes greater than 2 GB occur in Word, Excel or PowerPoint, or huge and networked data volumes are managed in a single Excel file. This is likely to occur only in the few companies in the "Home and Student" target certainly not. From the simultaneous installation of 32-bit and 64-bit version of Microsoft does not recommend explicitly.

Conclusion:
This is my 1st choice office package for easy, fast, result-oriented work. With the 3 licenses, the purchase price is also affordable. The free OpenOffice is not worthwhile in my opinion the more time consuming at work, the Operation rethinking between private and corporate OpenOfficeOrg Office2010, the trouble with zerhauenen layouts the import and export from / to Microsoft Office Standard. Microsoft Office 2010 is not only a generation but an era better and faster, saves labor and thus lifetime and it's fun to use the many possibilities of the programs.
May this review for many be helpful.
