- not everyone has a machine capable of running MS Office 2004. Older versions (2003, XP, 2000) are still quite popular.

- They are outdated when they speak. When they say Office Xp, they meant Office 2003. Awhile back, for another beta program, MS sent me Office 2003 for gift, and when I exchanged email with them, they confirmed with me that it is "Office 2003", not Office Xp (as they mentioned in email).
Shame on me.. I have not tested LCM 2005 yet though it is in RC phase.. and I have been in that program since the start of LCM 2003 -
