Different flavors of Outlook?

[scribe]

I know that there is Outlook Express and Outlook, but someone I occasionally
do some technical research for has been told by someone else that there are
two versions for XP; Outlook XP and Outlook XP Pro.

My initial reaction was the difference between the two is that it is the
same peice of software just installed on a machine with either XP Home
Edition or XP Professional. But since, I know nothing about this other
person who has said that they are different; I want to be sure before I tell
my client that the only difference is the operating system.

Am I missing something here? I've been looking on this site all over and on
the web and do not seem to see any discussion of different versions of
Outlook for XP other than Outlook and Outlook Express.

Thanks for your help. Am thinking I already know the answer, but want to
make sure.

regards,

There is only 1 Outlook 2002 (XP) and it comes as part of Office XP. There
are different versions of that package but only 1 Outlook version.

Outlook Express and Outlook have nothing in common at all other than sharing
the HTML rendering engine and the fevered imagination of some misguided
marketing fool at MS who decided to hijack the Outlook name for Outlook
Express.

Well, they both handle email. I think this is where most everybody gets
confused.
