Microsoft Office XP is an office suite created and distributed by Microsoft for Windows operating system. Released on March 5, 2001, it is the successor to Office 2000 and the predecessor to Office 2003, and was known as Office 10 in the early stages of its development cycle. Despite the "XP" branding, Office XP does not require Windows XP or higher; rather, "XP" was a marketing term for its era.
The Office Assistant, included in Microsoft Office 97 and subsequent versions until Office 2007, is disabled by default in Office XP; this was a key element of Microsoft's advertising campaign for Office XP.
Office XP was released to manufacturing (RTM) on March 5, 2001. It has received three service packs during its lifetime. Mainstream support for Office XP ended on July 11, 2006 and extended support ended on July 12, 2011.
Microsoft Office XP was released in conjunction with Windows XP, although the latter was not launched until October of the following year. Despite their naming similarities, Office XP is compatible not only with Windows XP, but also with Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6a), Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It is not compatible with Windows 95 as Office 2000 is the last supported version.
It is the last version with support for Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, and Windows NT 4.0.
The individual components within Office XP are assigned the "2002" suffix rather than "XP," e.g., Word 2002 and Excel 2002.
