Hi Steve,
Through MS Office XP Microsoft doesn't sell CD only packages
for end users (retail). If the CD is blue, rather than a hologram,

it may be a copy from a subscription to
http://msdn.microsoft.com
rather than a retail copy.

Hi Bob
It was listed on ebay as Microsoft office XP Professional
at a good price so I bought it. When I received the CD it
was labeled Office Xp Professional Blue.Do you know what
the blue means?
Thanks for any help you can provide
