It comes with Microsoft Works, which is a stripped-down version of Microsoft Office. Some people like it, others don't.\n\nLinux doesn't come with Microsoft Office; in fact, there's not a single Microsoft product for the Linux platform. However, Linux comes with Open Office, the open-source copy of Microsoft Office. There's also a Windows version of it, so if you don't like Microsoft Works, you can use Open Office in your PC without experiencing compatibility issues with Microsoft products.

All office files have this feature, Right click on any Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) and select properties, You will see Custom and summery, in these two tabs you can type any thing you want, and in Explorer these info will be shown in the ToolTip and in the status bar.\n\nFor all other kinds of files, i belive this will be easy in the new Windows VISTA.

not in a batch file but you can use basic to do it. You should be able to find BASIC on your xP  CD

You won't but you don't really need it.  There is free and open source office suite called OpenOffice, check it out at, http://www.openoffice.org/ it is also compatible with Microsoft Office formats and you get everything that Office would include such as a Word processor, spreadsheet application, presentation software and a database application.

You'll need the original CD set.  If you don't have it, might I introduce you to a great, free Office suite?  http://www.openoffice.org

there's no way of doing that legally...but if u really want it for free, you can try some torrents or u can try n get some pirated versions( both ways are not recommended...especially for professional use). If you want to try some other free alternatives, try OpenOffice. It has almost all the features of MS Office and probably more.Moreover, its FREE.

Yeah IBM Naturally Speaking and Dragon Dictate are it to my knowledge--though XP is supposed to have limited capability I have never figured out how to run it.

I am sure there will be an upgrade package.\n\nOne point to be aware of though. If you decide to upgrade, make sure you are willing to part with some of your hardware and software programs. When I upgraded to XP, many of my software programs would no longer work.  I also wound up replacing my trusty old printer because the company did not provide new drivers to support it. Perhaps all the companies were in collusion with each other . . . I mean what better to get a lot of business!

I am running MS Office 2000 with Windows 98 SE. So you can run it on XP.\n\nRequest the Service Pack 2 in a hard copy from Microsoft. (its free) don't download it from the site. That way you can be sure you are getting the correct CD.
