Microsoft office already installed??

If you intend to install or use Microsoft Office, then you want the version of this product that comes with Windows 8. That version does not have Office pre-installed, but it is the correct Microsoft operating system. The Windows version costs about 60-80 more (because you are paying for a Windows license). EDIT: I see that currently, Amazon is running an MS Office ad on the same web page that shows this computer. That is misleading, because MS Office is not intended to run on the Linux operaing system. You would need a different product (such as the same device, but with Windows instead of Linux). This version has Ubuntu operating system, which is a version of Linux. Instead of Microsoft Office, you would use the (free, installed) Libre Office programs. Libre Office has a lot of capiabilities, and in most cases you can exchange documents with MS Office on another computer. Since Libre Office is also available as a free download for Windows, you can check it out with another, Windows computer.

No, Microsoft Office does not work natively on Linux. But Ubuntu comes with LibreOffice already installed, a production suite that comes with Text Editor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, etc. Its functionality is equivalent to MS Office, and it can read documents created by Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc

You can't install Microsoft Office on a Ubuntu machine. And considering the performance this pc has, it's not likely to be possible to run it in a virtual machine smoothly. So If you want to use MS office, you have to install windows OS on it by yourself.

If your machine came, as mine did, with Windows 7, you will still have to purchase Microsoft Office programs separately and install them yourself or be the tech dept. where you purchased them They do not come as party of your Windows operating system. Or you could also find an Office suite of programs on the Web which are available on a rental basis or some even as freeware. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you specific links.

It was preloaded with the trial version only. To continue using the Office suite, you must purchase it from Microsoft.

no unless the product description indicates it's installed. I found an alternative to MS office with a search for "free MS Office download"

Windows 8 is installed. You need to purchase windows office separately. I had to purchase Office 2010 because an updated Office was not available at the time. Get Office pre-installed if you can as it was a pain installing it.

Jags2483,The system does not ship with Microsoft Office installed. Taking into account that not only are there multiple versions of Office, but also that not everyone needs Office, by not forcing a particular version via pre-installation, we allow the end user to decide which option is best for them.
