Program currently only satisfactory, activation disaster. The loading of old files can cause problems.

The interface is simple compared to its predecessor. The functions that we need all still there, but with the restriction that predecessor can not be opened partially in PowerPoint and Excel files or cause malfunctions. Large Excel files for complex calculations of corporate management processes, the problems for several minutes, even running in Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 for years to hours, sometimes arbitrarily rush from or hang themselves. PowerPoint presentations with embedded Excel sheets now and no longer function. Also embedded functions, graphics and images disappear or do not always work after the PowerPoint files store. Graphics and images that have been exclusively created with PowerPoint for example in Office 2010, are sometimes partially destroyed, in which the drawing elements are differently placed. The problem is that it is random. For functions we now know that we delete, then create a new file, save that functions again have to add and then these malfunctions no longer occur. Only all that we can with our hundreds of files definitely not do, because we can create it the same again. On the computers, it is certainly not, is i7 processors with up to 32GB of RAM (Triple-Channel) and 500GB SAS drives with 15000 rpm.

The Office 2013 Download, which is connected with an account opening at Microsoft and requires the entry of the keys for us was a simple disaster. We have quite legally and officially ordered our key for Office Professional 2013. The instructions to the information, including account opening performed. The result: A response from the MS server: The 25 digit key is invalid. That we had also read in some forums that something like this can happen. After switching the support of the Key has been validated, however. After the download and the subsequent activation took place.

Well, we were with the Microsoft products that so far actually very happy, but that has now definitely changed. One has to look very carefully what is going on and the license policy must be recalculated and roofed with many of our customers. For private use, it is certainly sufficient for commercial production operation, it is definitely too early, still need to follow some updates. So it remains only a test installation for testing operation of our software developments under the future Windows 8 and Office-2013.
