It would appear you're another labouring under the misapprehension that Pro
is that much more expensive because it includes Office - I'm still puzzled
as to why there are many people who think this because no version of Windows
has ever done - nor will ever do. If you really need Windows Professional
and Office then you must purchase the Windows XP Professional upgrade and
the Office XP Professional full licence (assuming you're not in posession of
a qualifying product - i.e. Office 2000 or 97). There is no bundle (that I'm
aware of) that will allow you to purchase both together at a reduced price,
though if it's for school then I suggest you contact your tutor.

Do you need:

1. Windows XP Professional, which is an enhanced version of the
Windows XP operating system including some additional features and
functions not included in XP Home, such as the ability to log into a
Windows NT/2000 Server Domain, Internet Information Server, Remote
Desktop, File and Folder level security settings for NTFS drives,
etc.?

2. Office XP Professional, which is a suite (collection) of business
related application programs including Word, Excel, Access, &
PowerPoint?

3. Both Windows XP Professional and Office XP Professional?
