No it does not have Microsoft Office preinstalled. Nothing is preinstalled. I bought Office at Costco for about $120.

It does't come with pre-loaded anti virus software. You'll have to purchase and install one.

Anti-Virus software has always been seperate, the fact that this is made by Microsoft makes no difference. It will never come included with the OS because Microsoft would be accused of using their monopoly to force their anti-virus on users. You can argue that anti-virus should be included for free, but thats never going to happen. You can also only have one anti-virus running at a time. However this is actualy a rip off for a different reason. They are discontinuing the service in June so its a waist of money. Buy NOD32 or Kaspersky instead (I don't trust Norton and Mcafee)

Sorry for the delayed response, I'm purchased the computer in 2011 and I have had it since. I have had no problems with the computer except the "A" occasionally sticks. There was a security software on there for most of the computers life but there is not one currently since I have not needed to use the computer recently. I have not any virus problems with the computer. I have had no issues with it, I just don't need it.

Yes Windows XP installed ready to go . We do not provide any virus protection or any additional software. But the OS and device drivers are installed before it leaves our shop.

No, this one is only antivirus. You'll want one of their "Security" editions instead.

I've purchased a few of these netbooks and they generally have some (Norton or Trend Security so far) trial addition of anti virus software installed. The first thing I do before connecting to the internet is remove whichever program is installed. Then connect to the internet and download AVG Free. Its a great program and I haven't had any issues with either XP or Windows 7.

It does have Microsoft office installed. However was very disappointed how slow it is. Not using it at all right now. Wish I could return it.

This comes with a product key, but for windows 8 operating system, does not include microsoft office. I think you may have to get pro (or consider a free alternative like open office or libre office)

No, it does not necessarily come with Office installed. I see the other two answers, but Office was not installed on the two I bought, you have to buy the office product once the trial expires. It comes with a link that allows you to download a trial or buy the product. Office 2013, which you'll need for Windows 8, is a bit pricey at $139 for a single user. Unless you need to interact with other Office users in professional relationships I'd try OpenOffice to see if you can get by before buying the Microsoft product. OpenOffice is free, it's not Microsoft Office, but it's free, it's not perfect, but it's not junk. By the way, the Lenovo 36795MU is great, perfect for tossing in the bag and using on the commute.
