If you think that Windows XP includes Microsoft Works, sorry to
tell you that you're mistaken. Neither it, nor any other version
of Windows, has ever come with Works, nor with any other
significant application software. Such programs have to be
bought.

If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with Works, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
Works as part of the package he sold you, not because that
version of Windows came with Works.
