Microsoft Student 2006 review in Security & Office software

By Stephen Patrick

School support kit

Affordable, comprehensive

Need MS Office to unlock its potential

What seems like an overblown encyclopaedia is a comprehensive package best suited to secondary school children looking for an edge

The one problem that quickly arises is that many tasks link through to Microsoft Office, which doesn't come with the package so you'll need to own a copy to get the most from Student 2006. Naturally, the main focus of this package is Microsoft...

Microsoft Encarta Premium 2007 is fun for exploring the arts, history, science, and geography through articles, images, and videos, especially for primary school learners.

Still, we prefer Microsoft Encarta 2007 or Student 2007 as an entertaining and informative learning tool for adults and especially young grade school children, but we would graduate to Britannica for upper-level academic research. Encarta offers...
