Office XP
PC Magazine
"With Office XP, Microsoft proves that it gets the message, finally: Users want to decide for themselves how their software works. And they'll be able to do just that with the forthcoming release of Office XP With FrontPage."
 
Paul Thurrott's Review
"When I received my copy of Office 10 Beta 2 at Fall COMDEX in November 2000, I did what any self-respecting computer geek would do: I found a (relatively) quiet corner somewhere (in this case, the side of the stage at one of Microsoft's product theaters) and installed it immediately on my laptop."

"There’s no question that Microsoft Word is the best general-purpose writing tool for the desktop. But does that make Word 2002 worth the upgrade from your trusty (perhaps rusty) copy of an earlier edition? If you still run Windows 95, forget it: Office 2002 won't run on your OS. Otherwise, absolutely. Although you’ll get the biggest benefit from 2002 if you regularly share Word documents with others, the sum of the program's new features—ranging from file recovery tools to faster formatting options—makes Word 2002 worth the upgrade price for almost everyone."
 
FrontPage version 2002
ZDNet
"With the addition of the SharePoint server to the Office XP family, FrontPage is the preferred tool for in-house Webmasters, who will use it to customize and brand SharePoint Team sites. The marriage of SharePoint and FrontPage 2002 makes it easy to create discussion boards, online surveys, and browser-editable lists for both Internet and intranet Web sites. … Web authors can take advantage of better Web-site management through integrated usage reporting. … FrontPage’s tracking features can also provide Web content, via seven top-10 lists that can be inserted on pages."
 
C/Net
"Microsoft adds Usage Analysis to its already robust site-management reports.… These traffic reports are enough reason to upgrade to FrontPage 2002. … There's also the SharePoint Team Services feature, which helps you create an entire intranet where team members can share information and documents. Users can add and edit the content straight from within their Web browsers, so this is a boon to any business."
 
Element K Journals
"We can say that FrontPage 10 is worth a serious look. The programmers have clearly taken into account many of the concerns and wish-list requests of hardcore FrontPage users. … It’s in the area of new features that FrontPage 10 really shines."
 
Publisher version 2002
ZDNet
"With a robust toolset, highly automated design functions, and a low price tag, it is easy to see why Microsoft Publisher owns the low-end, Windows desktop publishing market. With this release, Publisher 2002 concentrates on providing more intelligent automation, sophisticated output for print and Web, and tighter integration with the other Office applications—specifically Word."
