In addition to licensing issues, you may have problems with the actual operation the Language toolbar and accessibility options. The regional settings work differently and sometimes unpredictably on the two systems. If you require any other than the default language interface on either computer, then be prepared for severe conflicts. Actually, PowerPoint and Excel 2000 will install without any noticeable problems. These conflicts will become apparent after some use. On the other hand, if you bought XP Pro with the computer, you should have these programs either on disk or on your hard drive. Ask your dealer how to access the programs.
