Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

What is Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007?

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 is an office suite of desktop applications, servers and services. Microsoft Office 2007 (Office 12.0) was released in 2007. Office 2007's new features include a new graphical user interface called the Fluent User Interface, replacing the menus and toolbars that have been the cornerstone of Office since its inception with a tabbed toolbar, known as the Ribbon; new XML-based file formats called Office Open XML. Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 only contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.

Overview

The most used version is 12.0.6612.1000, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The main program executable is mspaint.exe. The software installer includes 69 files and is usually about 251.35 MB (263,564,181 bytes).
