Office xp Professional Special Edition Part Numbers

[J.V. King]

Hi,

Does anybody know where I can obtain a list of ALL the Part Number
variations for the Retail Box version of "Office xp Professional Special
Edition" ? It appears that the few I can find on the Internet all start with
F95- followed by a 5-digit number (F95-#####). Some of these are foreign
language versions, but there also seem to be numerous U.S. versions. I
assume that Microsoft MUST have a Part Number List (with descriptions of the
specific differences between each Part #) SOMEWHERE, but I honestly can't
justify spending $49.00 for a Microsoft Service Call in order to get this
question answered. Any help regarding this matter would be GREATLY
appreciated !!! Thank you.

If you would include the reason you want to know this information, I am sure someone could probably hazard a guess.

However, this information could also be used to stamp counterfeit software with information to make it appear genuine. Pardon most of us if we are somewhat cautious.

My apologies for not supplying a reason for the request, and wasting
people's time by now needing TWO responses to this post (and YES, I did read
the rules of the forum that say a reason should be stated for each question).
Unfortunately (like a DUMB@SS), I left the reason out because I felt it
would be too picayunish, as well as the fact that it appears Microsoft frowns
on consumer purchases of "discontinued" software products.
I am simply trying to find out which revision (Part #) of Office xp
Professional Special Edition was the final and most complete/current version
of this boxed software before it was finally retired. Again, there are a
number of different variations (F95-#####) available, and I'm only hoping to
determine the "Best Version" before I purchase it via one of many "Old
Software" vendors on the internet.
My sincere appreciation to ALL for not "flaming" me regarding the
exclusion of my reasons for the post. I stupidly disregarded one of the
Forum Rules, and I WILL follow them from now on for any future posts. Thanks
again!
