Yes, you can install Windows with bootcamp and run TurboTax as well as other Windows programs. I also believe TurboTax is released as Mac native app.

You can have Windows on a Mac but you'll need to buy Windows and buy a program like VMWare Fusion or Parallels. Or you can do a little research for Wineskin it allows you to creat a wrapper around any windows program so it will run on Mac another one is winebottle I think. You can just check the website of the programs you want to see if they support Mac or just goggle Turbo Tax for Mac:)

Yes you can. Google "Apple Windows Emulator" and you will find several programs.

No, those are Microsoft programs. A great freebie alternative is available called "Apache". Apache is an open source program which includes virtually all the elements contained in MS Office. Updates and upgrades are provided periodically. I personally prefer it (Apache)

Yes. Your are able to download any windows compatible programs to it. It has a desktop view just like windows 7.

Yes. All Microsoft OS licenses allow you to run previous operating systems. See Microsoft's site for more info: www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/Pages/downgrade_rights.aspx

Nope, you can't run Microsoft Office. You can write Google Drive documents (and export in Word format), or wait until Google fully integrates QuickOffice, or use the Chromebook as a remote screen and keyboard on a regular PC running Office. Oh, and you can use the Microsoft Word web app. The possibilities are documented in http://www.amazon.com/The-Chrome-Book-Fourth-Edition/dp/149095175X

No- sorry but its a windows based program. Good luck as you search for the program that will work for you.

You generally will not get a windows cd with most new systems. The os should be fully functional out of the box. The office program is a trial and you will need to purchase a key or you can download a free word processing program such as open office or similar

Yes. You will need to install Parallels and then install a Windows operating system (I would recommend Windows 7) and then you can install and run Windows applications like WordPerfect.

Yes. This is a fully functional Windows computer and will run the full version of Microsoft Office. It's not a crummy slate that's only half functional. Except for RAM or Graphics intensive programs, it can run anything a desktop can.

You can connect the drive (assuming it's USB), via the dongle or the USB on the keyboard, but your Tax app will not run, unless it's in the app store. If you are looking to reaplce your laptop, I would look towards a slate or surface professional that run full blown Windows 8.

As long as you have a copy of Windows 7 sure. Windows 8 runs fine and is actually quite simple to use once you get used to a few changes.

It runs Windows 8 (not Windows RT), so it will run any program written for windows. You do not need to buy all the programs/apps from the windows store. Remember, it does not have a DVD drive, so if you buy a program that comes on a DVDs, you will either need to use a USB external DVD drive, or use a DVD drive on another computer and share the DVD drive on a network

I think you can set any software you want inside the case and it should run it....just dump all your program discs with any directions into the side panel...

It is, but you'll have to do some workarounds with the graphics settings and its a "games for windows live" game. So you'll need a Microsoft account.

Yes. Just use windows 7 desktop, not windows 8 desktop features. Load MS Works and then click on Programs and select MS Works.
