I don't want to go on too much about the new Microsoft boxes but there are a little irratating. So without wanting to sound too much like a luddite here's why.

I'm embarrased because it took me a couple of attempts to get the thing open. I thought the instructions meant that I had to pull the tab out of the top before removing the side sticker. Cue much pulling and frustration.

Thankfully that was the hardest part of the process. Once the side sticker was off the box opened quite easily.

The actual setup process was much easier without many complicated options to confuse matters. Unless you want to specify exactly which parts of Office are to be installed.

The final part of installation is activation, no surprise these days. As ever, the internet is the easiest way to do this. The license is for three computers so hopefully there won't be any problems when it appears on my other computers.
