Answer 1

Microsoft Windows XP is an operating system. In short, the programs you use on your computer run on it. The bottom line there is unless there's a real problem with your computer, there's no need load anything from that disk.

Microsoft Office XP is a set of programs that run on your computer, you may have used some of them before: Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Again, if you already have those installed on your computer and there aren't any colossal problems with them, you don't need to load anything from that disk either.

Answer 2

Windows XP is an operating system CD, if this CD came with your computer, then this would be what you would sue to reinstall windows or do a system repair.


Windows office xp, is application software, such a word, power point and excel.

Answer 3

the next to last version of the windows operating system. vista is the latest. Now there is MICROSOFT Office XP which is application software...I assume that's what you mean by windows office xp. Microsoft word, powerpoint, frontpage..etc etc.

Answer 4

Windows XP is your operating system, this is the desktop/icons you are seeing.
Office XP is the tools for office work, word processors, spreadsheets etc.
