Best Generic Software: Microsoft Word
August 27th, 2010
Every now and then I purchase software for my computer, which tends to be fairly rare since my laptop isn’t the most powerful. But, when I do I am sure it will be full of functionality. In terms of my most favorite, I would have to say Microsoft Word. I know, a generic piece of utility software. And as a student I am pretty much required to have it, but I am truly impressed with it. There is a lot of flak towards the Microsoft King of Software scam for some of their products but I feel they do an excellent job on Office, and it doesn’t hurt that I can get it heavily discounted due to me being a student. I recently purchased Word 2010 after owning Word 2003 for a number of years. The vastly improved support for third party formats, such as PDF, and the UI changes are without a doubt the highlights. Also, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Word 2010 starts. It generally takes less then two seconds from a cold start, a vast improvement of Word 2003 which could take two to three times as long. The UI also experienced subtle yet noticeable changes which really help when creating documents.
