SpecPicks scored Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition CD-ROM w/ product key using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro software & media category. Microsoft's retro software & media lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
