Secret to opening Microsoft software packages?

[Don J]

I've purchased three programs from Microsoft, now. The most recent being
"Office 2007". In every case getting the material out of the package has
been a problem. In all cases it has taken me over 5 minutes, and I have
only been able to do it by losing a few fingernails and destroying the
package. If this is high technology you can have it!

Does anybody know the secret?

Not a Windows issue.

Not a Windows issue.

Yes it is! A while back I purchased Windows XP!

FIRST... this isn't a Windows XP OS issue.

SECOND... you already posted this same question about a week ago.

My take: you're a moron.

The last Office 2007 package I looked at in the shop had clear (if
somewhat small) instructions printed on it. Have you tried following those?

Sharp knife to take the cellophane wrapping off - although if you did not
figure that out on your own - you may want to ask someone else to do that
part.

As for the CDs/DVDs - you press the 'center' area and it will usually 'pop'
the CD/DVD loose.
