Opening Office 2007 Packages

Embarassing, yet trueThis is the second time I have nearly cut my fingers off trying to get into the new Microsoft Office 2007 packaging. So, as embarassing as it is, I am making a quick note here of the process.

1. Remove the red and clear label on the side of the fancy clear case.
2. Remove (or at least break the seal) of the completely clear circular label at the top.
3. Pull the red tab sticking out of the case on the top.

I know, I know, it really doesn’t sound that complicated, and yet, there are several of us here who couldn’t figure that out for the longest time. . .so I have to ask. . is it really necessary to do that? To make it sooooo hard to get into? I mean, come on!
