I am an old user of Outlook Express. I used it for years. Then when Microsoft came out with their lousy Windows Vista operating system, the trashed Outlook Express and came up with Windows Mail. I painstakingly transferred all Outlook Express files to Windows Mail. This was a big hassle. Now I bought a new Windows 7 machine and to my chagrin, there is no mail program included. So I looked around for a solution and thought it easiest to buy Outlook 2010. This package of Office Home and Business 2010 sounded good because it includes the latest version of Word, Outlook, Powerpoint... Trying to convert Windows mail files that were originally converted from Outlook Express into Outlook 2010 was a MAJOR project. It took me and 4 separate chat session engineers over 3 days and 10 hours of time to complete this. While going through this process I realized how Microsoft has us all by the balls. Once completed, it finally runs smooth and I do like the product. Why can't Microsoft make the process easier. I'm not a tech person, but I can set up a network, and do some other basic things - but there is no way you can do this file conversion without a Microsoft tech person helping. That said, since I had little choice, I'd likely have to do this painful process again.

At my office, we're not huge fans of Microsoft's latest forcings, I mean, offerings. Windows 8 and Office 2013 aren't huge hits, so we still like to use Office 2010. Most other places have jacked their prices up due to the dwindling (?) demand, but not B&H! Thanks!

I have purchased several copies of this. I am an internal service provider and use these on the laptops I configure for providers in a medical setting. I have found these to be the best value and price on the internet. I have purchased these in the past bundled with the MS wireless mouse and hope to see this bundle again.
B&H has the fastest shipping of any supplier I purchase from.

I use Outlook Exchange and Outlook 2010 to manage my photography email communication and calendar. Office 2010 has some amped up features in Word and Excel that are also beneficial; however, Outlook is essential to my business. I like the conversation view, so I can see the correspondence history with a client whenever I highlight an email. If you have a Windows Phone, I highly recommend adding this and looking into Outlook 365 for online and mobile device transparency. This was the best value I could find for a key. It arrived in 3 days, I entered the code into the trial, and I was up and running with a full version in less than a minute.

This is not the software by itself, but a product key code used to activate Office on new PC with Office 2010 preinstalled. If you computer did not come with Office 2010 starter edition, you have a link to download your free copy of Office 2010 in the box. This is a good way to buy Office 2010 Home and Business at a lower cost. Please note that this product is for 1 PC only. There is a more expansive key that allow installation on 2 PCs.B&H seems to have the best price for this product. They are way under [@]price at the time of this writing.
