Star Microsoft Axes Works, Introduces Office 2010 Starter with Ads
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 8th Oct 2009 22:04 UTC
Microsoft Are you familiar with Microsoft Works? It's sort of a My First Office Suite kind of thing which includes support for Microsoft Word and Excel documents. It is usually not sold separately, but instead comes pre-installed on new OEM machines. Well, Microsoft has announced today that it will kill Microsoft Works, and replace it with Microsoft Office 2010 Starter - an ad-supported version of Office 2010.

However, what you consider archaic, I consider very keyboard friendly and much simpler than that stupid ribbon bar that changes based on context. I don't want to have to go looking for an item when I already know where it is, and with the ribbon I have to do exactly that.


let me guess: you never used office 2k7

but i've made a little photo-story for you about the endles keyboard-journey to change the active font...
