Reviews of the Microsoft Works Suite 2006
-
CNET Review
The Good: Interconnected programs in Microsoft's Works Suite 2006 simplify home computing; includes updated Digital Image, Money, Encarta, and Streets and Trips; affordable; excellent technical support.
The Bad: Works best if you use only other Microsoft products; includes same Word 2002 and Works 8 from last year's suite; gobbles up memory; awkward interface; no upgrade discount from 2005.
The Bottom Line: If you don't mind standard versions of popular programs, Microsoft Works Suite 2006 is a time-saver for basic home-computing tasks such as organizing photos, budgeting, getting travel directions, and word processing.
