Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has ever included
Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, 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 wit
Word and Excel, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled them 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.

It wasn't part of Windows 98 either. Your vendor just bundled them.

Sure. It's not the current version, but Office 200 works fine with Windows
XP.
