How to open your Microsoft office box

A client gave me a copy of Office 2007 to install. I needed to google to find out how to open the box! Here is the information from

Windows vista has the same packaging.

Believe it or not, quite a few people have asked how do you open the nifty Windows Vista Box or packaging after purchasing Windows Vista at the store. So I figured I'd do a step-by-step process on how to open your nice new copy of Windows Vista without smashing or destroying its cool packaging.

Step 1: Understand how the Box is sealed.

Windows Vista's box is sealed when you get it so nothing falls out, like the DVD's and Quick Start Guide.

Step 2: Remove the seal.

You've got to remove the seal first on the side of the box to proceed to actually getting the box open.

Step 3: Pull the pulley.

There is a red pulley on the top of the Windows Vista box. After the seal has been removed, pull the pulley out away from the box. Don't squeeze the box when doing this. You don't need to squeeze. The box should just open up.

Step 4: Enjoy Windows Vista!

I've done this on quite a few Windows Vista boxes and never ran into any problems with the packaging being unable to open. However, that is not to say some packaging may be a bit harder to open than others. But you should be able to use the steps above to open the packaging none-the-less without damaging the packaging itself.
