This may sound like a stupid question, bare with me. I purchased a Dell
system with the Windows XP Professional system. The problem is I don't see
Excel spreadsheets, powerpoint or word. Doesn't that come with the Windows
system?
 
When you buy a Dell on-line, click "customize" and you'll
find the software options.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

No. Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has
ever included Excel, PowerPoint, Word, or any other significant
application software. Such programs have to be bought, either by
themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with these, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
Microsoft Offce as part of the package he sold you, not because
that version of Windows came with it. Some, but not all, vendors
do the same with Windows XP.
