I know MS released individual products as 2002 editions. Don't know if they released the entire office suite as a 2002 edition.

no.

Office 2002 = Office 2002

Office XP = Office XP
I have Office XP installed, but if I go to the "About" dialog for any program (Word, for example) it says "Microsoft Word 2002." So if Office XP is made up entirely of programs from 2002, what's your alleged "Office 2002" composed of?

Office XP = Office 2002. The AutoSave function was not built into Office XP, just the AutoRecover. You can find add-ins that will autosave for you though.

Won't it be great when fast solid state storage becomes standard? I see a time when we could have realtime file saving. Now we can't have that because it'd just bog down the system, dealing with the incredibly sluggish mechanical hard drives. Fast solid state, with virtually unlimited write cycles? Go for it.

I just had the opposite experience, my computer just crashed down after a few hours of work in word. Started up, opened word, and there it all was. Made a point of saving that right away.

Man, I was pissed when it went down.
