My Acer Aspire One came with a trial version of Microsoft Office. I believe the trail was for 60 days and with limited use of all the software. I went ahead and purchased a product code which cost me $109.00 for the entire suite of products.
What comes on it is the basics Windows XP, Microsoft IE, Some Acer specific software (I forget what the name is but it is their service center). What I was really impressed with is there is a VGA connection, 3 USB ports and the SD/SC Card Reader.
I have used mine mostly for Internet browsing, email and downloading some pictures from my camera. I would never be able to use this as my primary computer because well... heck I cannot think of a reason other than I don't want to.
I was given this computer as a gift for Christmas, I thought to myself "why the heck would anyone think I needed this" I have a perfectly good Desktop and Laptop but you know I really like this little computer. I used it a lot in the evening when I am watching TV in bed (I like to surf the internet of chat when I watch TV). Oh that is another point, this little computer has a web camera so I can use my Skype with it also.
I hope this answers some of your questions, as I said I am really happy with my cute little girly Acer Aspire One.
