Loaded with Bloatware? If yes is this available without at additional cost?

My understanding is there is limited bloatware on this superb tablet. Skype is on along with several other things, however, not nearly as much as Samsung puts on theirs.

It is, but the package is a month trial. After that you will have to install your own software package

One must upgrade to the unlimited employees package; there's only two options with QBs - up to three employees, or unlimited (and the latter is only available with the online edition, period!). It's about a $100 more if I recall correctly, which quite honestly, is difficult to do with all the disturbing and extremely costly add-ons, fees, upgrades, additions, support, services, etc., which QBs perpetually assesses for the seemingly minor details and pompous efforts they provide to assist their patrons with their product. Apparently, this process is quite intentionally designed to limit service, comprehensive accessibility and ease of use to the consumer, while incurring greater costs as he/she becomes aware of the "bait and hook." And rather exorbitantly at that. Tread with caution. You will likely pay in excess of $600/yr to utilize this program effectively. Everything with QBs, which I believe ought to be simply included with the program, comes at an additional, and very unwelcome fee. Trust me. Look into the other free, online programs which provide a very similar service, without all the hype, unnecessary control and expensive fees for your small business. Essentially, QBs has got me very tightly wrapped around their little greedy fingers. The software itself is alright, but they design (and are constantly redesigning) it to be much more complicated than warranted in an obvious attempt to offer you support at a significant drain to your small business resources. If you're loaded, go for it. If not, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

No. There is an extremely over priced hard drive you can buy for it though.

I am waiting for an ASUS netbook myself... Know from experience that bloatware is any software you won't need. You may have several "trial" software packages that work after you send the developer $$ for a license key. This happens with any pc or laptop manufacturer. If you open something and it asks you to go to a web site with credit card in hand, my advice is "Unless you are absolutely sure you will use the software", go to Add-Remove programs in the control panel and remove it from your system. Sometimes these packages will have an uninstall button or tab to simplify this process. If you aren't going to use it, get rid of it. Space on a netbook is premium so clean it up and limit it to what you will use. I plan to limit mine to spyware detector, anti-virus package, and a small office package (i.e. word processor, spreadsheet, etc) I personally use Open Source software - it's free. Check this out on the internet. OpenOffice.org. Mozilla.org, etc... Read up on it first.

If the price is about 1,400.00, then yes - it's the full installation disc. Legit serial number, Flash, DreamWeaver, and everything. Go for it! Better than the cloud version, in my book.

No. Can be installed by your trusty computer store though. I was surprised at it's absence but may have contributed to great price.

No there isn't. You'd have to purchase an external drive, but those aren't expensive these days.

Yes, and you don't need to buy WMC. There are freeware applications that will make this run just fine.

Yes, but it comes on desperate disks so you have to download it first. It's worth it trust me

Are you wanting to know something about this software? I have not used this software as it is too much for what I need. I would be willing to sell it

To me, the biggest problem with bloatware is the installation of McAfee - - which I find very obtrusive, slow and real pain in the you know what. I had to go Dell support (which was fantastic) to completely remove McAfee and switch over to Windows Defender (which has always worked for me) that is integral to 8.1 windows. Outside of that - - not too bad for bloatware. Easily removable.

You can find a couple of free downloads, but just a couple. Yes, the downloads cost a lot in my opinion too.

I would hope you saved a hard copy. Then you just would reinstall. Otherwise, I think you could possibly get another download from Cyberlink.

Mine came with all the programs already installed. It's possible that you'll have to download much of the plugins and extras to have full functionality however (I had to download a separate package for Garage Band). There shouldn't be a fee.
