Windows XP is an "Operating System" and does not include
applications such as Microsoft Word or Office. You can purchase
your desired applications by visiting your favorite store that sells
computer software.

Microsoft Works Suite 2005 also includes Microsoft Word

If you want MS Office or similar, you have to go to a store and buy it.. MS
Office has never been an integral part of any MS operating system..

An excellent alternative to purchasing Microsoft Office is to download the
free, no spyware attached, OpenOffice Suite. This is a large 50MB download
but will open, save and work very well with all Microsoft Office files

WinXP is an operating system. As such, it contains _no_ word
processing capabilities. It does come with two rudimentary text
editors, NotePad and WordPad, but neither on can perform any advanced
word processing functions.

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.
