About the software
Microsoft Office XP (also known in the beta phase as Office 10 and also known under the name Office 2002) is a Microsoft Office family suite distributed by Microsoft on the Microsoft Windows platform. This suite, which is the successor to Microsoft Office 2000 and predecessor to Office 2003, can be identified by the name ‘Office 10’ or its codename. It was launched in the USA on March 5, 2001, and in Europe on August 4, 2001. The ‘Mainstream’ support phase for Office XP expired on 11 July 2006, when Windows 98 and Me no longer were supported. Extended support was ended on 12 July 2011. Office XP tools received the title of 2002, even though they had the suffix “XP”. Word 2002 was the name of Word, instead of Word XP.
The final clippy
Microsoft Office XP was a major component of its advertising campaign. Microsoft knew Clippy, and other Office Assistants, were unpopular and unused by users. These features were not entirely removed in the 2007 version.
