Service Packs

What is teh difference between SP1 and SP2. I have a Inspiron E1505. I am looking to buy a laptop for my daughter for college. I also have Office Professional 2007. Will it work with SP1 without any problems.

    Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.

    Service packs for what Office or an Operating System?

    cjl1961,

    Yes, you can use Office 2007 in WinXP.

    Thanks for teh update, I am aware of that. In fact I have already done that. What I am asking is

    the difference between SP1 and SP2. The laptop I have has SP2. I am looking at laptops with SP1. Will Office 2007 work on that.

    Your posts are somewhat confusing, some mention XP,  SP2, or SP1, another mentions Vista SP1. So when you just say 'SP1' it is not clear whether you mean XP SP1 or Vista SP1.

     

    In any case Office 2007 should run in either XP (I suggest you update that to XP SP3, which you can do with or without SP1 or SP2 installed) or Vista or Vista SP1.

     

    Get the full XP SP3 from
