of course you can!. The ep121 is a full PC. Office 2013 works pretty well. I used to use this tablet for meetings and work travels, I have used it to run: METSIM (a process simulation software), R (a statistical languaje) and several "serious" softwares. Even You can play a little, particulary some old games (diablo II works just fine if you bought a pen with right click button).

The Office 2010 line of products will run on XP. There may be a couple of features that are not enabled when installed on the XP platform but most people will never miss them.

The one that I purchased had Windows Vista installed; however no Word or Excel programs. You would have to buy the software for that.

Yes. OpenOffice is included. The user interface is very easy. You'll open a document and start typing, and it will look pretty similar to MS Office. If you've already got a document started on another computer, put it on a USB or e-mail it to yourself and open it with OpenOffice. Unless you've used complex options, it shows up in OpenOffice looking virtually identical. XP MS Office will read OpenOffice documents. If you're going to be working on a document on different computers a lot, you may want to download OpenOffice onto your primary computer and compose in that format. One caveat--I'm pretty sure that Vista is not supported, so if you're using Vista, you may want to download OpenOffice to your primary computer for ease of transfer. Perhaps a Vista user will come along and confirm or clarify this. Another fact to be aware of is that the eee has a small keyboard. I don't find it difficult, but I'm a hunt-and-peck typist with smnall hands.

You are only buying one license, so you will only be able to install it on one machine. Check the Microsoft Excel home page for details on single Vs multiple-license installations.

No they will not run on the PE tablet. All Microsoft Office apps are for the Windows operating system and this is Android. However there is a Kingsoft Office suite which offers Documents, spreadsheet and presentation and is mostly compatible with the Microsoft Office files. It may not be 100% compatible; some reformatting may be necessary but the files are transportable between systems. You also may find "Open Office" available for Android. It's originally written for Linux but has been ported to other operating systems. It, too, is not 100% compatible, but it is for the most part. Hope this helps. Oh and the apps I mentioned are free.

Word excel one note and power point are included. They may be scaled down versions but work for me.

You should be able to run PE 4.0 on Windows 8. Recall that most applications simply take you back to the Windows 7 desktop. I am running PE 4.0 on this OS.

Yes. It is possible to use Excel with the ElitePad. It does have on screen keyboard and the cursor can be controlled by the touch screen. However, you may get better control with mouse/keyboard on a spreadsheet.

Yes it can. This version of Excel does not require an internet connection to run.

Easily, yes. I've run it on a windows XP, 7, and 8, and it has always run smoothly.

IMO the 1000HE will fit your needs. Recognize that MS Office is not included, so you will have to compromise and use Star Office, unless you have the ability to add Office on your own. As long as you are using Word 2003 or earlier, Star Office is a viable solution. As to buyers remorse, so far the device has met and exceeded my expectations, considering its price-point compared to "competing" netbooks. While 9 hours of battery time seems like a far-fetched claim, I'm perfectly happy with the 7 hours or so I seem to be getting. My only criticism has been the sound quality from the speakers. Turning on the Dolby helps, but at best the audio is mediocre.

Yes, you need XP on the machine. XP is the OS (operating system) and think of Office as the software that runs on top of the OS.

there is the typical trial version of office if i am not wrong, but to get the full version you have to buy a key, pretty standard for new machines. I reccomend uninstalling the trial and installing any office you have handy (or buy) i did it with office 2007 and no problems so far.
