Microsoft Works 8 27 Mar 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have upgraded from my old Works programme and this is so much better, with more content and so much easier to use than the old one.

Unique Database 7 May 2010
While you can download OpenOffice free, the one thing that MS Works has that is virtually unique today is its flatfile database. If you want to create a database of just a few thousand records (say cataloguing a private collection) then a professional relational database management system is gross overkill. If you are not already familiar with programming RDMS then you are going to have a steep learning curve.
Years ago, there were plenty of flatfile databases to be had, but today MS Works is pretty well unique in general purpose databases. Because it does not build lots of index files and takes the data into RAM, it is easy to use and very fast. If you want to create a smallish database, look no further. MS Works is your best option.
The word processor and spreadsheet application may suit you if your needs do not extend beyond writing the odd letter and doing very simple calculations, but for anything beyond this I would recommend you download OpenOffice. It is the database that makes MS Works worth having.

Microsoft Works 8 20 Nov 2010
Microsoft Works 8 is a very good program to use for those who are new to computers. When I first bought a PC just over five years ago, Microsoft Works 8 Word Processor and Spreadsheets was installed on the machine and quickly I learned to use both of them which I found very good and easy to use. Mcrosoft Works 8 programs are compatable with the old machine and modern machines with Windows 7 using either 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems. Microsoft Works 8 Word Processor documents and the Spreadsheet documents can by saved as and opened with Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 as Word 2007 (Word Processor) or Excel 2007 (Spreadsheet).A Very good starting point for those learning to use The Word Processor and/or Spreadsheets. Microsoft Works 8 spreadsheets are a very good basic and easy to use database which I have used to catalogue my entire collection of vintage vinyl and shellac records. Four I have used to catalogue my 12 inch and 10 inch LPs, 45s, 10 inch 78s, and 12 inch 78s.
