As the netbook concept does not include an optical drive for space issues, you need an external drive to; install CD/DVD based software, burn CD/DVDs off your netbook. The new wave of ASUS EEE PC will most likely come with a DVD-RW, but the unit will be heavier. You have a couple of options when installing software from CD/DVDs; 1. Go out and buy a USB based external optical drive. I would recommend Samsung SE-S084B. It costs around $70. Does not require a power adapter. It comes with a dual USB cable to power up from the netbook. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SE-S084B-RSBN-External-DVD-Writer/dp/B001MLZKAQ/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238534118&sr=8-2 2. If you're in a network environment, you can load the installation CD/DVD on another computer, share the CD drive on that PC and connect to that CD drive via network neighborhood from your netbook. The easiest would be to use the IP address of that PC. For example; the IP of the host computer is 192.168.1.10. In Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer's address bar type in the following "\\192.168.1.10". You will be able to see the shared folders and CD drive for the host.

No, Office is not installed. It comes with an Office app which gives you the options to buy Office, install a version that you already have, or try Office 365 for free.

My computer did not come with Microsoft Office. You will get a free trial, but will have to purchase Office to keep it. I hope this helps.

What type of programs?If you have content on a flash drive or external drive then definitely yes. If it is a program downloaded from the internet or bought from the microsoft app store then definitely yes. However, if you are wondering about CDs or DVDs, then you will need to find an external disc drive in order to load them onto the computer. Hope this helps!

No, this does not come with Microsoft Office. You will have to install a valid copy of MS Office. Remember that the OEM copy can be installed on upto 2 computers and the store bought copy can be installed on upto 3 computers. As for installing the DVD disk, see "Loading Programs" on the discussion below.

Or you could take the install CD and a flash drive to a computer with a CD drive. Copy the install disc contents to the flash drive. If you can do so, make the flash drive bootable; if not, just open the flash drive and run the .exe file.

Hi - The quickest way is to ultiize an external dvd/cd burner. Your netbook has a usb port to attach an external dvd/cd burner. Other than that, I suspect you could transfer the Microsoft Office files on the cd to a thumb drive and then attach to netbook.

Nope, not unless you get an external drive. It doesn't come with a CD drive at all.
