SEATTLE -- Microsoft Corp. today launched its latest version of Office, one of the software giant's most popular products and its traditional cash cow.
Called Office XP, the program will sell for $239 as an upgrade. For users who don't own any other version, the program will cost $479.
Analysts say its new features may not be enough to lure a substantial base of new users immediately, especially since many only recently upgraded to Office 2000.
