No.
Neither Windows XP, nor any other version of Windows, has *ever*
included Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access, or any other
significant application software. Such programs have to be
bought, either by themselves or as part of Microsoft Office.
If your previous computer, running an older version of Windows,
came with these, it was because the vendor who sold it bundled
them as part of the package he sold you, not because that version
of Windows came with them. Some, but not all, vendors do the same
with Windows XP.
