Does this tablet have the full Windows OS or is it the RT version? Does it come equipped with Word &amp; Powerpoint or do they have to be purchased?

It has the full 32 bit version of Windows 8. Not the RT version. It also has a 60 day trial version of Microsoft Office which I think includes Word. I do not use those programs, so I cannot provide you with further details. I've had my Acer for almost a year and it's great...no problems at all.

Yes it does does all you have to do is go to the documents to go app that is already included with the tablet and register. You can view and create MS word, MS excel, and MS powerpoint documents.

No, it does not. Not at the price it was selling for. Windows RT cost around $1000. This Acer tablet with a full Win 8 installed cost less than half. I am still quite happy with this purchase.

Windows RT includes Office tools Word, Powerpoint, Excel, One Note. Access is NOT in the package. The tools are build into RT and there is no annual fee like there is with Office 365 on a Surface Pro 2 or 3.

No, it doesn't. Office Home comes with Windows RT and Windows Surface, but not Windows 8

Actually, it isnt. It is Windows 8. Basically it is the Home and Premium version of Windows 8. Found that out the hard way when I tried to join the tablets that I purchased to my corporate network. The OTA update is pretty fast and worked flawlessly though... 80 bucks later I am running full Win8 Pro, an impressive device overall.

I don't know if it works with Win RT. I used it on ASUS android tablet and it works fine there. The package did come with a disk with 'drivers' on the label. Did this help at all?

It was upgraded to Windows 7 full versionl when I received it. Also has Microsoft Office small business. I upgraded the RAM to 2GB.

I thought it would come with a full version of office -- but it was just a trial version. I think it should have however as it uses a tablet processor and is running windows 8, so it's probably a mistake in preloaded software.

No HD, it's solid state. 32GB, half of which is the OS. Has a micro SD slot and USB port. My wife picked up the MS SURFACE RT which has win 8.0 She's been happy with it-comes with Office at $350, but I still find the OS a little frustrating to use. I may have had bad video drivers on the Vivotab as the SURFACE has run all the videos. If you decide to go with one of these tabs, I can suggest a WiFI drive unit, which you can tie into, like a Seagate goflex with 500gb, it's portable and secure.

Probably not on Windows RT, but a pro model of this tablet hybrid will probably work.

It shipped with Win 8.1 32 bit. I would have preferred the 64 bit Pro, since the Atom processor supports 4GB RAM with the 64. It did come with MS Office Student license (the pro doesn't). Not a big deal for me since I prefer OpenOffice (all open source when I can) and installed it along with MS Office.A side note: The 128GB model may come with Pro.

This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet. This tablet came with windows 8 and I entered my Win * PRO key and it downloaded the additional software that comes with the PRO version and upgraded the tablet. It is now running 8.1 PRO. When Microsoft upgraded it to 8.1 PRO. It did not install the new version of it's camera app because this was branded as a Lenovo. Microsoft has a different version of downloads for non Surface tablets, those bastards. Lenovo mentioned that they were working on it. The new version of the camera softawre has the "panorama" feature. I like the tablet. This tablet runs Windows 8, 8.1 PRO also. Do not consider a RT tablet.

There are two types. 1- Windows edition- 100% TABLET. 2- Android edition- 50% TABLET. Personally i recomend for you a windows education, because it's a tablet.

Well, it comes with office, many, if not most apps are free...at least the ones that I use. For surfing, browsing and watching movies or videos, I rarely touch my PC or laptop anymore. Having said that, it's not a powerhouse. I have purchased nothing for use on this tablet and would buy it again, or the new one with the atom processor ( or is it tegra 4?)

The plain Surface has Windows 8 RT operating system and that is what my Dell branded tablet has, so yes it does.
