Office with each revision is becoming a harder sell, the increasing interest in Cloud computing, Tablets have changed user patterns. The idea of the Office suite being an essential component of any new PC is being reconsidered. I remember over a decade ago when Office 2000 hit the market, it was just what everybody had to have on their PC at work or home. Interestingly, Office 2010 is turning out to be one of Microsoft’s best releases to date and not just from a usability stand point, but also when it comes to adoption. Recently Microsoft announced a major milestone in the products history at its World-wide Partner Conference, 1 billion installations of Microsoft Office. Here in Jamaica, I have visited a number of large businesses where I see large deployments of Windows 7 Enterprise and Office 2010 Professional Plus and of course, consumers have been adopting the desktop suite too. Where I work, students who bring their notebooks to school are running either a combination of Office Home and Student or the Starter edition. Although Starter is free, the feedback based on its use is very positive and shows that persons still love having Microsoft Office as part of their PC experience and consider it an essential component.
