Office 2000 will work fine with XP. I don't think I would buy from a dealer
that doesn't know that.

That is correct.

He either doesn't know what he's talking about or is lying to you
in the hope of making another sale. If it were me, I would
consider buying from someone else instead.

Office 2000 works perfectly well on WinXP. If a vendor is telling
you otherwise, take your business elsewhere - no doubt he'd lie about
other matters, as well.
