First, note that it's not "XP and XP Pro"; it's XP Home and XP
Pro.

The two XPs are identical except that Professional includes a few
features
(mostly security and networking) missing from Home.

Try these sites:

Neither. Neither Windows XP nor any version of Windows has ever
included Microsoft Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. These
are applications, not part of any operating system, and are sold
either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

He may be talking about Office XP SBE, Standard, Pro and not Windows XP.

If you are talking about Office XP go to this site for comparison of the
different versions http://www.microsoft.com/office/howtobuy/choosing.asp

Maybe, but if he is, and he posts his question in a newsgroup
with "windowsxp" as part of his name (especially without
clarifying that he means Office XP), he's making even a bigger
mistake.

My bet is that he means Windows XP, and he just thinks,
mistakenly, that Office apps come with it. He wouldn't be the
first person to have done so.

Greetings --

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.

The two versions are identical, when it comes to stability and
functionality, but are intended to meet different needs. One
difference not usually mentioned is that WinXP Pro allows up to 10
simultaneous inbound network connections, while WinXP Home only allows
a maximum of 5. As only you know what your computing needs are, you
should decide for yourself:

Keep in mind that the majority of non-computer professionals have no
idea that Office XP and Windows XP are different products. One must
not look at the world through their own eyes if one wants to advise
others.
