Actually you are incorrect, the above post about Windows 7 not running on an ARM processor is correct. Windows 7 only runs on an x86 or x64 architecture which ARM is not. Most netbooks use a Intel Atom processor which is an x86 or x64 architecture processor, some may have an AMD low power chip NEo or Fusion I think or some use a VIA x86 chip. So no, you cannot install Windows 7 on the gTablet. There might be a future release of Windows 8 or Windows Phone 7 that might run on ARM but not currently and I doubt that it would run very well on it even it it could be done. Just google windows 7 on ARM and see. Actually you are incorrect, the above post about Windows 7 not running on an ARM processor is correct.

If you have a netbook with Windows 7 IT IS RUNNING ON AN ARM processor. The above post is incorrect.

It came with Windows 7 which is not touch screen capable, so the answer is no as far as I know. If you install Windows 8 I don't think it will activate the screen.

Yes. We ordered it with Windows 7. We've found these units elsewhere on the web. I believe the Lenovo site also has them as Windows 7.

Yes for sure. I installed windows 7 on multiple netbooks and watched movies on it. Works just fine. I know a standard game will not have issues

Not all come with W7.....most come with W8. They can be downgraded to W7 only if you get a NON-TOUCH SCREEN.

Last I read, the answer is "no". Android apps seem to display pretty nicely on the 7" screen - unlike the larger Galaxy models w/ 8.9 & 10.1" screens. Honeycomb is designed for larger tablets. However, I do think the 7" Tab will be upgradeable to 2.3 (Gingerbread)

Yes you can But with windows 7, The touch features are more like you can work without mouse and keyboard. On windows 7 do not expect the experience that of iPhone like swipes, but does basic touch operations like clicks, close, zoom can be performed.

Depends on the actual dimensions of the unit, not just the screen size. That being said, I haven't seen a 7" unit yet that didn't fit it....

It will support Windows 7 if you want to install it once you get it, however per your question MSI does not offer any versions of the GT70 2OC models with 7 pre-installed by them. Windows 8 has come a long way since its release over a year ago and may people have come to really like it. Especially with the recent release of 8.1.

No, But that way you can decide if you prefer a touch monitor or not, which is an option with Windows 8. There's also the option of dual monitors.

I do not know. I bought this because I wanted the Android OS. I have no interest in a Windows installation so I haven't researched it. It has been my experience with other tablets that trying to install a different OS on them is typically not cost effective or time effective.

This monitor works with all windows versions. The touch features are not operating system specific.

This is a 10-point multi-touch device when used with Windows 8. It does function in Windows 7 as well, however only as a single-point device.

This model does not have a touch screen. Nice computer, not a fan of window 8 so I downloaded the Start8 app and it makes the desktop look identical to Windows 7. It cost maybe $5 and is worth every penny!

Yes, you can. If you want to have a look and feel of Windows 7 (no touch screen), there is a free shell you can download that gives you this option.

this tablet runs a full windows 7 package, but i'm not completely sure it would have everything to run them right out of the box. you may have to add some additional hardware. be careful, i only kept mine for approx. 20 days; it kept "freezing up" on me. after i had returned it, i found other people that expreienced the same problems i had.
