RJ,

This may seem an off the wall response to your Office XP question but Have you
checked out OpenOffice.org for Wiondows?  It is 95% of what office is. But in
some ways, I think OpenOffice.org is much better than Office XP.  Plus, OOo can
read and write Office XP files.  The only thing that OOo does not have is an
Outlook equivalent.  Plus OpenOffice.org is FREE.  Or you could buy Star Office
from Sun for US$69.

Later,
Steven
