Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has ever included
Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or any other significant application
software. Such programs have to be bought, either by themselves or as part
of Microsoft Office.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows, came wit
Word and Excel, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled them as part
of the package he sold you, not because that version of Windows came with
it. Some, but not all, vendors do the same with Windows XP.

It wasn't part of Windows 98 either. Your vendor just bundled them.

Sure. It's not the current version, but Office 200 works fine with Windows
XP.

From which disks? Excel and Word are not on a Windows XP CD. You will need
either a Microsoft Office CD or individual MS Word and Excel installation
CDs.

Maybe or maybe not. If Office 2000 came with a computer then you cannot transfer it to a new computer.

You cannot transfer OEM versions to another computer. That includes Office.

If you need word proccesing, spread sheet or any other general office software and yet don't want to pay for it, OpenOffice is for you.
