(Thanks for the correction, Chris! I totally spaced out and didn't
notice that this was for XP.<wink>)

Been through everything in here no comparison chart, did find on link for
Offixe XP Professional and Standard but not the rest.

 

[Dian D. Chapman, MVP]

Okay, you're gonna make me work for this one, eh?

This is the best I can find right now. It's from the Hong Kong site,
but it is in English and shows the info you need...so just the links
and possible purchase details will differ, but the product details ARE
the same as what I've seen in the past for the original site...but
that URL is hiding from me right now???

Hope this helps...

Great site, thanks for the help. It is missing at least one version though,
Small Buisness Edition, not sure if there were any Academic (Teacher /
Student) editions as well. Just trying to compare them against Office 2003
edition for a school.

 

[Dian D. Chapman, MVP]

No problem and yeah...I hunted around for a bit and even the URLs that
SAID they were for XP turned out to be 2003. So I'll assume those were
all updated and the HK one was just a left over they missed! ;-)

Well...sorry I can't provide you any further stats.

As a personal note...I never really liked XP and was one who, although
I had XP, I hung on to 2000 and kept using that for the length of XPs
"new" life. But when 2003 came out.,..I fell in love again.

So if you were to ask me which to choose...XP or 03...go with 03. I
love it. Very stable and lots of good stuff. Worth the move to learn
to fight with the Task "Pain."<vbeg>

Good luck!
