Just a note to those consumers reading these reviews about the students and teachers edition. I work at Microsoft in the customer service division and I can tell you for a fact that the students and teachers edition of office xp can ONLY be installed on ONE system. Just ONE. This means not on a desktop and a laptop. One or the other. We have had customers calling in for this second license when it won't allow them to activate on the second computer and we have to tell them that the reason is because the license extends to one system only. Hope this clears alot of confusion.

I recently purchased this software, and I have been nothing but pleased. Offered at a budget price, Office XP for Students and Teachers can certainly up the productivity of any home or mobile PC. The product is easy to install and easy to use. It even comes with a CD tutorial! I highly recommend this product, especially at this bargain price.The product includes many popular software titles used in today's educational world. Microsoft Word, the standard word processing software in today's educational environment, offers spelling and grammar check along with user-friendly features and easy customization. Microsoft Excel is an outstanding spreadsheet software, and PowerPoint is, in my opinion, the best presentation software available. Though I do not use Outlook, I am confident that it is as easy to use as the other programs. This offer is something that I would recommend very highly. If you don't have this in your productivity software pile, I recommend getting it as soon as possible. It certainly beats it's rival - Microsoft Works - for both the money and features.

As a public school counselor assigned to two different school sites, I needed Office XP on my laptop AND desktop at home. It's been hard to access a computer for confidential letters among the old dinasaur Macs at my sites and, if interupted (a crisis falls in my lap), send the document I'm working on to finish on the desktop at home. So I ordered this, installed it on the laptop, launched, and found out it only works 49 more times before "activating" it. But I need it on the desktop too!!! Called a catalog educational software company and was told that there is no license for this product and Microsoft would tell me the same. Have to buy another program at same price they said. WRONG! The program license covers a laptop AND desktop. Call the order desk at Microsoft; someone will explain. Yahoo!!
