No. Only "Microsoft Office XP" (retail version) can be installed
on both a laptop and a desktop computer. Windows XP requires
a new license (Product Key) for each installation on a different
computer, otherwise Product Activation will fail for the second
installation.
Read your Windows XP End-User License Agreement:
Start > Run and type: WINVER , and hit enter.
Also, open XP's "Help and Support" and type: EULA
and click on "Questions and Answers about the
End-User License Agreement".
