If you upgrade overtop of Windows 98 you will likely have to reinstall your
Office 2000 suite again after the upgrade but yes it does work fine in XP. I
just set a system up with XP Home and Office 2000 yesterday.

I installed Office 2000 Professional (includes things like Access and
Powerpoint) on XP Pro - runs fine. I DID keep the Word 2002 that was
pre-installed on the machine, though. As others have told you, make
sure you grab all the patches. Note: They're NOT directly on the
Windows Update site. You go to Windows Update as normal, then click on
the "Office Update" at the top of the page somewhere :-)
