does windows xp professional contain microsoft office?

Question

what are the differences between it and regular windows xp?

Answer 1

Worst luck.... no sorry. It is a dirrerent Microsoft product entirely.



There is very little difference between XP Home and XP Pro. Usually XP home is an OEM version and is only compatible with the motherboard that the computer has inside it whereas the XP Pro usually is will load onto a computer with any motherboard which is also sometimes referred to as a "full" version



Microsoft Office is only a program for typing, spreadsheets and that type of software and it isn't an operating system to run a computer

Answer 2

No. Microsoft Word is not part of Windows. It has to be purchased separately as part of the Microsoft Office program. Windows does include a simple word processore called Wordpad for free. You will normally find that in the Start Menu under Accessories.

Answer 3

Yes, Office is a separate program and versions of it can run up to 250.00. XP home version comes with more "media' driven programs, game ready & so forth. XP Pro leans toward the business side. It has been a better choice for me. Basically the same operating system with different bundles.

Answer 4

Windows XP is the operating system that runs/controls the computer. This is the windows environment to which you work in.

MS Office is a suite of programs that includes a word processor, spreadsheet, database, presentation, and other office related software.
