I am confused, why does Microsoft have two excatly alike
products on the market? Office XP and Ms. Works?

Office XP and MS Works are hardly exactly alike. Office has vastly more
features and tools. Your question is like asking why GM sells a Geo Metro
and a Hummer. Sure, they both have four tires and a steering wheel, but that
doesn't make them the same vehicle.

is around $50 and MS Office XP sells for over $400? is
this the same product, just marketed different? Why pay
the extra $350 when with both packages you get a word
processor, spreadsheet and a database?
