- Microsoft Windows XP/Microsoft Word 2002
- Posted by Beba on February 28th, 2006
I am a novice when it comes to computers, my question is this "Is Microsoft
Windows XP the same thing as Microsoft Word 2002?" or alternatively when you
install Windows XP 2002 Edition do you automatically have Microsoft Word 2002
as part of the package?

Thanks, Beba

NO. Windows XP is an operating system. Microsoft Word 2002 is an
application.
NO. You have to purchase Microsoft Word 2002 separately.

The two are completely separate. Windows XP is an operating system. Word is a word processor. Often, computer manufacturers install both, so people think they're one in the same. They're not.

No, neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.
Microsoft Office comes pre-installed on new computers only when the
computer manufacturer chooses to offer it, and the purchaser is willing
to pay extra for it.
