The advantage and disadvantage of Microsoft Office is compatibility. If your system is compatible with Microsoft Office then you should not have much of an issue. If you have a MacIntosh computer then it would not work so well. MacIntosh and Windows are not compatible with each other. There is however a Mac Version for Microsoft Office. To install the standard version of Microsoft Office on a Mac
. would definitely be a disadvantage. You would need to get the Mac Version. Some other advantages include the utilization of additional memory and enhanced default security protections for your system. Another good thing about Microsoft Office is that 90% of companies use it. On the other hand, it is very expensive. One of the major disadvantage I find is the amount of memory that it takes up on your system. It is required by Microsoft to have between 1 GB to 1.5 GB of memory in order to install and run Microsoft Office efficiently.
