"Solver" for MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac?
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and I have Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac installed on it. I have read reviews on Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, and the main criticism is the lack of the "Solver" program in Excel.
I am currently a high school student, looking to go into a top-notch Commerce program for post-secondary education. I was wondering if I will need to use "Solver" in the future. If I do, I could download it...I found this website offering the download:
http://www.solver.com/mac/dwnmacsolver.htm
Is this website legitimate? And do you think I will need to use "Solver" in the future? I don't really know anything about the program at the moment, but a lot of reviews have criticized the lack of the "Solver" program in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
P.S. Could you check out my other question about CPU temperatures?

I don't think that Solver is terribly important unless you happen to need to do those particular types of calculations.
The good news is that the reviews you read are out of date; Solver has been available for Office/Mac 2008 since August 2008 (per Microsoft, as linked to below). The download link you gave is the same one that's in Microsoft's announcement, so I'd say it's legit.

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.
