Microsoft Student 2006

Homework can be stressful, and not just for students. By the time their children reach middle and high school and are struggling with calculus and complex research papers, most parents have been out of school for many years and are not well equipped to provide assistance.

In response to a Microsoft survey that found that 71 percent of parents with 12- to 18-year-olds (in the U.S., U.K., France and Germany) feel unprepared to help their children with homework, comes the comprehensive Microsoft Student 2006 productivity software.

i dont think it will be useful in india as students just mug things up and mostly students arent giving assignments and projects at school level unlike the foreign countries.
so i think it will basically be a flop here.
