More information about the software
Microsoft Office XP was known in beta stage as Office 10 but is also known as Office 2002. This suite of Microsoft Office products is distributed by Microsoft for Microsoft Windows platform. This suite, which replaces Microsoft Office 2000 as well as the predecessor to Office 2003 can be referred to by either the code name or the name “Office 10”. It was released on March 5, 2001 in the USA, while in Europe it first appeared in markets on August 4, 2001. The ‘Mainstream’ support phase for Office XP ended on 11 July 2006, the day on which Windows 98 and Me were no longer supported. Extended support ended 12 July 2011. Office XP’s tools were given the title 2002 even though their suffix was “XP”. For example, Word was not called Word XP, but Word 2002 instead.
The end of clippy
A key element of the Microsoft Office XP advertising campaign was the removal of Clippy and other Office Assistants as a default option, which Microsoft knew were quite unpopular and unused among users. These features were not entirely removed in the 2007 version.
