MS Office: While the netbook does nt have any optical drives, how can someone install additional software like ms office etc (except through download from internet)?

You can use a exterior cd drive through the usb port, and that will work just the same as if you had the cd in your laptop or desktop.

The price of the Microsoft Office 2010 varies by license. The netbook is not pre-loaded with a Microsoft Office license, you have to purchase the license separately. If you purchase it as a student, it's much cheaper than if you purchase a personal license. You shouldn't have trouble installing the suite onto the netbook though - make sure you update the netbook with the current Window's patches and you should be fine.

No, but you can download Open office for free and it does all that MS Office does. Actually some things better.

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.

No MS Office cannot be installed. In fact this version of Windows was intended for mobile devices and is no longer supported, It is a good product for playing around with and maybe porting Android, but if you want something to run windows you are better off with an used laptop.

Yes, it's just like any normal Windows computer. There's no CD drive, though, so you have to download everything (or install via an external drive).

All brand new laptops do not come with MS Office. You need to purchase it separately. Thanks

If you have vista on pc, on your pc: Open explorer -&gt; right click -&gt; share You might have to go to control panel -&gt; network -&gt;file sharing -&gt; to enable file sharing, etc On your netbook, Do a network scan on your netbook, find the hard drive, -&gt; then I think you can add the hardware as mapped drive. I make the assumption you know how to put both pc and netbook on the same network.

You have to buy a DVD/CD writer to add any software to a netbook. Samsung has two that I've looked at on Amazon; the customer reviews are very helpful. Since most netbooks have at least three 2.0 USB ports, and the price of the Samsung writers are around $50-60, I'd get one. Don't know anything about how MS Office runs on a netbook--remember, a netbook is not a mini laptop--you might want to explore that subject first, don't know. Good luck!

Read my review. The way to do it without buying an external DVD drive is to set up a network. Here's step by step process: If you already have your computers set up for "home or small office network," 1) add your netbook to that network by going to My Network Places, and opening up the "Set up a home or small office network" on the left side. Make sure that the network name is the same. Follow instructions fully. You may have to reboot afterwards. 2) on the computer with the DVD drive, go to the My Computer and locate the DVD drive. right click on it and open "Sharing and Security..." Check "Share this folder on the network." 3) on the netbook, open the network and locate the DVD drive. 4) on the computer with the DVD drive, insert a program and stop install. 5) on the netbook, open the DVD drive, locate the "setup" file and run. That's it. If you don't have a set up network, you will have to set up the network for each computer with the same network name. Follow the above instructions for the rest. That's it.

No. No cd/DVD drive. Most programs have online drivers so i haven't missed having a physical drive.

Yes, you will download the software from the net. This package basically just has a code that you enter and a set of instructions. I also used this to upgrade a netbook that did not have a dvd/cd-rom.

There is no built in CD. You can use an external USB attached device. map a network share to a device that has a CD or if the information that you are trying to use comes in ISO format you can mount it as a drive. Hope this helps. If you need more details please ask.
