Can I install XP Pro Office with XP Home Ed. Operating System???

Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with my easy(?) question.

I have Windows XP Home Ed as my operating system on my newish laptop and I
want to install XP Office Professional. Will the operating system (Home) be
compatible with the Office (Professional) product?

I have recently done a system restore on my laptop and I remember the last
time I installed XP Professional operating system over XP Home Edition I was
on the phone to Microsoft Tech. Support on and off for over a month with the
problems it caused, so I would really appreciate if someone out there knows a
way (?) that I can stick with XP Home (SP2) and still install XP Professional
Office...

Cheers :-)

Microsoft XP Office Professional is designed to easily install
on either Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional.
