Any limitations on installing applications? I want to know if it is possible to install any Windows application on this?

True, Maduranga brings up a good issue. You could buy office 2010 from the web and install it from the web download. or you could try copying all of the info from an office 2010 disc with another computer onto a usb drive as files, or as an image, and see if you can install from them. Worst case senario, you can borrow someone's usb cd\dvd drive and install everything on discs through it, or buy one, use it, and keep or return it.

I don't know why you can't install it; I've had no trouble and I have Windows 7, too. I have the 64-bit version. I don't know if that makes a difference, but mine runs very well.

I do not know that answer. I have a Windows Machine. The Application Manager installs via USB linking to Web Site.

I have a Windows 8 computer and have no problem using it. The hard drive I have in the case is from a Windows 7 computer. No issues and no installation of software necessary.

No. Don't waste your time. I'm on W7, the drivers won't install. If you look up the forum, a lot of customers face the same problem.

I works for me using VMware fusion. I also read that it works great using Boot Camp to run windows natively. Hope this helps!

I have never have such masochistic ideas, to even think to try such an install. It might run, but the way Microsoft recoded the graphics routines (which are a core part of Windows) make me believe it will run out of memory just after booting. It will rely heavily on "virtual memory" (which is hard disk based) and make it even slower... Seems like an old computer, that will be difficult/expensive to upgrade (RAM, Hard Disk). Dependong on your needs, you are better off using Windows XP (which wont be that fast either, but is less resource hungry tan Vista) or using something like Ubuntu...

Not officially supported by Windows 7, though, there are allegedly workarounds to be found if you search the web. I was pointed to one such workaround but did not try it, as it did not appear to be simple.

Most likely ok. When I installed Windows 8,it nearly destoyed the compluter. I hardly use it. I even used the update that came with it. Sound card, printers, internet card is gone, so be careful

I currently have one running in a 64-bit Win7 system and I don't recall any installation issues. Best of luck.

You can always install Windows 8, just like Unbuntu or whatever, no worries

It's not compatible with windows full stop! There is no desktop application

No, not installed with any extra programs, just the operating programs, Windows 8, which takes a little getting use to, after awhile you'll like it. Has some TRIAL programs like McAfee Virus, but all other programs you'll have to load, can do from old MS disc, or load from online sources, of course at a price 0¿0 Cheers, Charlie

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.

Actually is i dont know or try to do that, but windows 8 is just like windows 7 with different "start menu" design . And most of apps are now copatible with w8Also it can be install win 7 because the system requirment is enough for that.

Don't know why not - it has a full version of Win8 on it, though I haven't tried to load either one. The computer itself is pretty limited in disk size and RAM, but I only use it for email and Internet access anyway (I have other computers to do actual work). However, its wireless networking is quite good, and even with the low signal strength in the area I usually use it, web pages and other Internet content loads fairly quickly.

Correct. You can install Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD, World of Warcraft, or any other memory and performance intensive program, game, or software. Anything windows, although like Mr. Reed said, since it is running windows home premium, you might not be able to run programs made back in the day for windows xp or older, but you can always upgrade your operating system later, up to windows 7 professional for $70, and gain the ability to run all of those xp or older programs. But yeah, just look at this tablet as a VERY portable desktop.
