Office XP Pro v. Office 2003 Pro

[ScottBeFree]

I run Win XP Pro. Office 2003 Pro seems to have more features. Is there any
reason to purchase Office XP Pro? It is difficult for me to understand what
the differences are. Any clarification of the differences between these
versions would be most appreciated. Thanks
Scott

Product naming can be confusing. Office 2003 is a later edition than Office
XP (sometimes called Office 2002 for clarity).

Everything that is in Office XP Pro, and more, is in Office 2003 Pro and if
you have 2003 there is no reason to also purchase XP (2002).

I agree. Its a small difference.

One major difference is the inability of Office 2003 versions to run in Win
9x..

Scott did say he was running Win XP Pro but you are right, it is a
potentially significant difference.
