    Office

    I have Office 2007 and the size of the software is 2.12GB and I just got Office 2008 but it's only 558.23MB. It has the same items in it but why is the disc size so much smaller?

    Many thanks.

    Darren.

      Office 2000 was the last good one IMO... 2007 is just stupid and too hard to use.

      And Office 2000 fits on a single CD

        Open Office is even better, because it's free.

            Yes, I would.

            I've used Office 2007 plenty at school and at the library, and I just can't stand it. I refuse to go any "newer" than 2000. (2003, as I said, was tolerable... but with the exception of PowerPoint there really wasn't any new features so it's not worth using)

                I'll give another nod for Open Office. I don't use it often because I really have no need for what it offers, or any other suite of type TBH, but when I do need it I don't have any problems. Paint.net is another great free app to substitute for the more pricey offerings from PhotoShop.

                  GIMP is another great alternative to Photoshop. The only complaint is how long it takes to load (30 seconds or more for me...)

                    Gimp kind of reminds me of unix vi editor. If I kept using it I'd become adept at doing lots of massive editing really efficiently. But the UI feels foreign at first to a Windows user.

                        Many thanks for the info everyone. All your opinions are interesting. So far I find the 2007 edition better.

                          I have office 2007/2008 and 2003 and I find that 07/08 is harder to navigate.

                            I can operate these versions but I asked my main question at first because I wondered why the 2008 version is so much smaller. There was word that I might have the MAC version but I don't know because I was given a burnt copy ages ago and when I e-mailed my friend to ask her she hasn't replied. She did say she was going away for a bit but I thought she would still check her e-mails while being away unless her planned fun got the better of her. I don't know if mine is the PC or MAC version. I saw files and folders that a PC has with software. I don't know about a MAC copy because I've never used a MAC computer.

                            I hope this copy version that I mentioned hasn't broken a rule.

                            Many thanks.

                              2008 might be smaller if it's only updating 2007 core components
