Then what is the difference in the Microsoft Works product suite (i.e. MS
database, spreadsheet etc.) from the MS Office product suite (i.e. MS access,
excel, powerpoint etc)?
Apart from the fact that Office has full featured elements that integrate
rather than 'integrated' as are the different elements in Works, you will
notice that Works will run on older, less well specified machines, is
probably as much as most home users will ever need, and it is CHEAP..
