Is it possible to install ms office onto the NC10 without a disk drive? And if so will it actually run any good? I’m using open office right now on a linux based netbook but to be honest it’s just not as good as office/windows
I am using word with no problems, I have no need for any other office apps right now so have not installed them
I have Word, Excel, Power Point and Access 2007 (I need them for work) all up and running. Performance is pretty good. To install without a CD/DVD drive I created an Image of the Install Disk, copied it to my NC10 and mounted it using Daemon Tools. Installing was a snap from there.
Nice one, I might knock up a little “how to” post when I do that myself. Not sure whether to put on 2007 or my previous version which was 2000. I’m not a big fan of Open Office although appreciate it’s pretty amazing for free.
I’ve got DELL laptop and NC10 netbook. To install all the application using DVD drive, I set the network between two machines, shared my DELL dvd drive and thats it. Installed Office on NC10 using wireless network connection without creating disk image etc.
I got the whole MS Office 2007 installed in my NC10 and all applications are running fine. I did not need a cd, I have on a removable drive.
Another way to install is just to download from Microsoft and then run the install entering a purchased activation code. I have office 2007 home and student (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote) and performance is fine, not quite up to my desktop but good enough.

Well, i just made a network share on my NC10 for office 2007. Then i copied the files from my office 2007 cd and installed it on my NC10.
The performance isnt a problem, the screen size is. Its just a little too small for office. I hided the ribbon, but it isnt a nice solution.
I find you get used to Office on the small screen of the NC10, when I first installed it I found it too small, but since then I’m now used to it after a weeks use and have hidden the taskbar also (and rocket dock) so using the full screen height. In general I find that the way I work with the program has changed slightly in that Outlook for instance I’ll open messages to read them instead of browsing them in the preview pane.

[/quote1227886315]This is exactly what I am going to do.
FYI, for anyone interested Microsoft has a one day sale today for 50% off normal price of office 2007 home.
Great deal
Installed Office 2007 off of a USB stick – works fine, although the start up time for Excel and Word are a little slower than on my desktop or work laptop.
