What software is pre-installed? What software is loaded onto this netbook? I will be using it to write documents which I will transfer to my PC back at the office (using MS Office)

The only Office program this comes with is Microsoft Works if that is what you are asking. I loaded Office and uninstalled Works.

Mine didn't come with Microsoft Office pre-installed. It wasn't important to me since I can get the software through work for fairly cheap. Thanks!

D. Howard is right. I've used Open Office on my NC10 and it's great.I don't think you'll miss MS Office.Bob H

MS office was not loaded on. You can get it for another $99. Luckily I had access to 2010. I'm not happy with the computer since I've had it.

Either, depending on the OS. It works equally awful if you use MS Office. Use Open Office and it actually runs well.

No, so you have to buy a MS Office version and I bought MS Office 2013 which slows down the netbook because it is too big. So go with MS Office 2007 but check if this works with the starter versionof Windows 7 as you have to upgrade that too to Home edition. If I would have known all that I would have bought a laptop instead of a netbook.

Hi, Unfortunately this laptop does not include Microsoft office, it only includes a fresh installation of Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, with all driver and updates, but there is free software out there such as google docs.

You can download the software from Microsoft and use the key that came with your disk. I happened to own a Sony DVDirect drive that I am using as an external drive for my MSI. If I wanted to, I could also set up another of my computers to share its drive over my network. Lastly, portable USB dvd drives are pretty cheap now and work really well with the MSI.

I bought the disk (DVD -- note) and loaded the software to my PC... installed it to the hard disk; I prefer the disk as when I change or upgrade PCs I can reload the software -- after telling Microsoft what I am doing so they don't think I am installing a single-license version on 2 PCs. Please note that it is a DVD and does not load thru a CD-ROM. MS Word 2010 is also the last version of Word that runs on XP SP3.. Be sure of what you are buying -- disk or download; see seller's comments on whether the box/package was opened or not -- that means disk. the Word 2013 version needs Windows 7 or 8 .... Jay

No. The Microsoft Office is not actually pre-installed in this laptop. There is just an icon link (an installer downloader) to download and install Microsoft Office 365 (2013) as a 30 day trial or as a paid subscription. You can still buy MS Office that will work on only one computer (one license copy) and install it in your laptop. You can also install and use LibreOffice suite for free. As well as Google Drive has word processor (Google Docs) and spreadsheet (Google Sheets) web apps that you can use for free as well.

It comes loaded with Notepad and Wordpad as part of Windows 7, but they're pretty basic. I downloaded the Libre Office suite, which is FREE, and has a very capable word processor (and spreadsheet, data base, drawing program and more).

I have Microsoft Office 2007 and installed it to this computer. It works great and I have been using it for about 2 months without issues with that software.

It's pre-installed, but on a trial basis for a limited period of time. You can then have it permanently installed by buying it from Microsoft online.

I just received my Netbook and I am not really a "computer whiz", so I'm not sure what all the talk is about the rebate or DVD drive. What do I need to do to take advantage of the offer? Also, does upgrading to 2gb have anything to do with the speed of the computer or just additional memory?

Greetings, The WolVol netbooks come pre-installed with writing applications that allows you to create and edit documents, then save them as a Word file. It is also compatible with Excel and Power Point. You may also import other Word files through a USB stick to this unit, and edit them. Regards.

Everything I read about it on netbooks has been really good. I'm going to do the update sometime this week or this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.
