i am buying a new computer and am getting confusing advice
from various dealers about changing from windows me to
windows xp home. i currentley use office 2000 with me
(students and teachers pack). i have been told by most
dealers that i should be able to carry on using this
software when i change to xp but the dealer i am buying
form that it wont work ad that i will have to start again
with the xp version. i am pretty loathe to pay out at
least £140 for this if i can get my existing version to
work has anyone had experience of this or am i going to
have to shell out for the xp version. any advice will be
gratefully accepted.

trying to sell you Office XP?

Office 2000 will work fine with XP. I don't think I would buy from a dealer
that doesn't know that.

He either doesn't know what he's talking about or is lying to you
in the hope of making another sale. If it were me, I would
consider buying from someone else instead.
 
Greetings --

Office 2000 works perfectly well on WinXP. If a vendor is telling
you otherwise, take your business elsewhere - no doubt he'd lie about
other matters, as well.
