Whenever it comes to the acme of cracker’s desperation, they have proved that ‘nothing is impossible’.
In retrospect, if we jump in to the details that, whenever users encountered any problem which was deliberately incorporated into the app, developers come up with an idea to get it over with, by building different scripts and patches, that eventually abets user to get rid of the problem, But the dev-team which Microsoft have been working with, must have built this version of office in a way, which would be difficult to hamper and elevate hindrance for crackers, preventing them to enter in to the Office Starter application code structure to start modifying code or changing its structure for adding more features. The developers who will be looking forward to disable advertisements, would caught in maze of files and facing a great challenge as core apps are embedded in other app, which apparently do nothing, besides invoking Word or Excel(and also updating them).
So it would be difficult for cracker to go about it as Microsoft embed the app in labyrinth of other apps. Microsoft built an app launcher which actually invoke Word & Excel starter version. It is also not free, and RC has already expired, but you can observe that, many developers came up with patches and cracks for activating Windows, and amazingly some of the cracks are dealing with Microsoft activation process very tactfully.Ĭoming back to this version of Office, for novice users it will be astonishing that Starter folder will be residing in a very strange location that is in Virtualization Handler folder. It should be noticed that whenever a huge product hits the market, the developers also start to show up and start making rhetorical claims about unblocking or cracking, as it happened with Microsoft Windows 7, which is now taking more share of the market than any Windows version has taken up in this small interval of time.
In the past, as we have seen that whenever there is a very useful application launched in the market, which is not free to use, or bound customers with trial periods, licensing, or advertisements, it actually flare up the curiosity in developers to come up with some patch or any sort of script to get over the annoyances.īut it seems that, this time Microsoft is driving on the other side of road where it will not encounter too many crackers to get over the ads pane included in the Starter edition. On the positive side Starter will be free for all users, featuring only Excel & Word. But we all know that, Microsoft is looking forward to get a hold of market with giving-away free products to incite more customers.įor short period of time you will be able to use Microsoft Office Beta and Starter on your machine, Microsoft Office 2010 Starter will be containing less features than the original Office 2010.
Microsoft claims they are “designed for casual Office users” who apparently will be perfectly fine with reduced-functionality and ad-supported software.
Microsoft Office Starter 2010 includes basic functionality so users can view, edit, and create documents. Many user from around the world have already started using Office 2010 Beta which will be expired down the wire, but it give users a thorough look of what sort of new features Microsoft would be integrating in the final version. With Starter you can write, add charts, and edit documents, etc, but the most bothering thing you will notice is the right pane of the starter, which will contain adverts and keep the window stretched, to adjust advertisement pane. But Starter is only the stripped-down version of the Office 2010.
Microsoft will be putting Office 2010 Starter for free in the newly purchased computers.
