MS Office Basic

[lexie]

Would anyone happen to know what programs are on it and would it be suitable for my parents who wouldn't want do to anything particularly complicated?

Don't bother...

Just download open office at

www.openoffice.org/

Free, and is a great bit of software...

Crevat's to Open Office.

1. Make sure the people using it are not Office power users, their embeded macro's not working and subtle differences between OO.o Writer and Office Word will drive them insane.

2. Are you American? If yes go for the latest version. If no, download the 1.x legacy version. Open Office 2.x has a very neat bug, it will ONLY spell check in American English even if native language support and interface language is set to say Cyrillic.
