Office Express Highlights
The
Microsoft .NET Technology
Office
Express has been designed from the ground up using the new Microsoft .NET
technology. This technology is the latest advancement in the Windows platform
introduced by Microsoft. Windows has gone through a major evolution with the
introduction of 2000 and XP using the .NET technology and will go through
another major evolution again with the proposed release of Longhorn in a few
years. Office Express is already using these technologies and is guaranteed to
continue to be at the front edge of the technologies as they develop.

Windows
Compatibility
As mentioned earlier in this section, Office Express has been designed using the new Microsoft .NET technology. Because the .NET technology is the foundation for many new things to be introduced by Microsoft in the upcoming years, there has been no consideration for backward compatibility. As such, Office Express requires Windows 2000 or any edition of Windows XP. Users of earlier version of Windows will need to upgrade.
NOTE: Update Windows First!
Office Express has been designed with all the latest service packs and updates for Windows. Microsoft is constantly making new updates available. Since your copy of Windows was installed Microsoft has released updates that you should download.
We can only guarantee that your copy of Office Express works the same as the product we develop is if you are completely up to date with Windows updates.
Make sure to install the latest service packs and critical updates. The easiest way to make sure that you have all the proper patches is to visit Windows Update at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. When you go there, click on "Product Updates". The first time you visit, you will be asked to install a small plugin into your web browser. Accept this and then the system will scan your computer to see what updates you need. Don't worry, no information is being transferred to Microsoft. You'll then see a huge list of potential updates. The ones you really need to pay attention to are in the "Critical Updates and Service Packs" section. Check the appropriate boxes and hit "Download". The updates will then be installed automatically. Depending on which updates you install, you may or may not need to restart your computer. You should visit Windows Update at least once a week or so for all your computers running Windows. Note, you can also have Windows check for updates automatically. When an update is available you will automatically be alerted.
