Not only can you not install real Office on an RT machine you can't even use Office 365. You are stuck with a crippled version of Home and Student. Save yourself a lot of heartache and don't buy an RT machine. ASUS makes the best Windows 8 machine available but they cannot overcome Microsoft's shortcomings.

It comes with a full version of Microsoft Office RT. Currently includes Word, Excel and powerpoint. Has a couple of limitations that most people won't care about - for example, Excel will not run VB scripts. And Win RT 8.1, to be released in August, has added Outlook as well.

As I understand it, the version on the tablet is a preview. The full version is supposed to be provided by Microsoft (for free) when it is ready. This version doesn't include Outlook, however.

You should really consider Open Office 3.0 (openoffice.org). Its completely free and is compatible with virtually all MS Office products.

No, I had to order & download Microsoft Office 365. There is a "trial" version but it is very limited.

No, it is not. There's a 30 day free trial with the option to buy Microsoft Office for approx. $140; or buy just Word for approx. $70.

Like most new PC's, it's pre-installed but it's not free. Click the Office icon and you're prompted to pay Microsoft.

If you are looking for Office, you can still find Office starter for free (and legally!), just search for it. :)

Only Wordpad. It does come with a free trial of Microsoft Office as well, but you would need to buy it to keep it. Personally, I just downloaded OpenOffice, it's free.

No, it does not come with Office. M-Soft gave me the opportunity to pay a $10 per month for the full Office complement, so I did because it's totally necessary for me.

Does not come with Office; you can install it if you have it, or download OpenOffice, which is free.

Yea, it first comes as the preview version for all of them, but once you set up your account they give all the Microsoft office things like PowerPoint, word, and outlook. And it's all free!

Its free and no charges or anything like that a year but remember it is the basic edition, It does work for me and I use office all the time on it.

That is correct. Most computers come with a 30 day free trial. When I bought 2 of these computers for myself I already had Microsoft Office so all I had to do was install it.

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)

No it is only a trial version of Office that is included. I think it was 30 days free use, then an option to purchase the software will be available, and is very easy to activate the full program.
