Works SE

[teejay]

Hi

I am thinking about buying a new computer from PC World in the UK - if I buy online it comes bundled with Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and Works SE.

Does anyone know what Works SE comprises of - would it, for example, do away with the need for me to purchase Office Home & Student in order to get Word?

Does it include Outlook Express so that I can continue to access emails as I do at the present?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

Teejay

If this is a Windows 7 PC, it will not have Outlook Express but instead Windows Live Mail. Works SE is the equivalent to the Office Starter. Basically you get a couple apps (for example with Office you get a stripped down Word and Excel) that will either be a 60 day trial or an ad-based product that does not expire. This version of Works may give you the ability to upgrade to the full version, but I'm not sure. Office and Works are separate products, but I am not entirely certain why Microsoft keeps Works around.
