 Howstuffworks "How Microsoft Works"
It doesn't tell you that Microsoft is a business empire without equal, that its products are used in nearly every computer on the planet, or that it has yet to reach the height of its power and influence.
Microsoft has become a symbol of all that is great about the information age, as well as all that is less-than-great about it.
Whether by cunning, innovation, determination, or a mix of these qualities, Bill Gates' Microsoft has defined how we use computers since the first IBM PC rolled out in 1981 with Microsoft's MS-DOS in its innards.

 Microsoft Works 8 Reviews. Office suites Reviews by CNET.
Works 8.0's interface is unchanged from version 7.0's, though you'll find a few minor tweaks here and there.
Works' main interface, the Task Launcher, does as its name implies, allowing you to focus on the task rather than the application needed to complete it.
Works' spreadsheet, for instance, didn't retain our macros, charts, images, or pictures when opening an Excel file, and the formatting of some Word documents changed slightly (losing paragraph breaks, for example) when opened with Works.

 PC Plus - Microsoft Works Suite 2005
Although Works 8 is available as a separate application for about £36, there’s a reasonable incentive for the home PC user to dig deeper into their wallet for the entire suite, considering the marginal cost increase for the wealth of additional features.
The eighth generation of Works finds itself with a generous selection of new and updated features, though the average existing Works 7 user will be relieved to know that these provide mainly functional improvements without reinventing anything.
Of course, the Works Suite is primarily a consumer product and, despite the US bias of some of the templates (do we really need to organise a Little League table?), there’s more than enough to keep the home computer user happy.

 ZDNet Microsoft Works Suite 2005 Review & Comparison
The Microsoft Works Suite 2005 (MWS 2005) packages popular Microsoft software alongside Microsoft Works 8.0, an entry-level productivity app designed to create text documents, read spreadsheets, and view PowerPoint presentations.
Works does an adequate job of reading spreadsheets, scheduling activities on a calendar, and even displaying PowerPoint presentations, but we still think it's a poor substitute for the latest Microsoft Office apps.
For example, a family that's planning a vacation and the budget to support it could use the apps within MWS 2005 to provide background research on historical sites along the way and use it to write their own personal journals and edit their digital photos upon returning home.
