The one I have has Windows 7. I had the option of 8; however, the software I was running was not stable on 8. This was the summer of '13 and from my understanding 8 had a patch released fall of '13 that was to take care of the issues. Software was AutoCadd.

The one I got was Windows 7 64 bit. I added Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit and it runs very happily as a dual boot machine.

It has all of the above. The instructions say hook up and install the operating system.

This is a barebones kit. It does not come with a hard drive or RAM so you will need to purchase that separately. It will only take a 2.5" HDD or SSD (Laptop size) and laptop size ram. So therefore it does not have any OS loaded on it. I have MythBuntu running on mine and it runs great. I have seen other reviews where they say that it runs Win7 just fine as well.

Nothing. I bought it as a curiosity item. I could not find any documentation that explained how to use the operating system. I now have a Nook HD. It does all that I need for a hand held computer.

Mine came with Windows 7 but I'm not sure what they're putting on it now. I would think you could still find it with the older OS.

I purchased one of these, and it came with Windows XP professional installed. You could, of course, install any operating system you choose....Windows, Linux, or MS-DOS if you wanted....It's your hardware!

It is a USB device. It doesn't care what OS you using as long as the OS has a USB driver!

My machine shipped with Windows 8. I am running Classic Shell (free, download.com) which will give you a choice of looking like Windows Classic, Win XP or Win 7 when you boot up. Helps with the learning curve.

Roxio may come with it, as suggested by other users. It was on my work machine.

The unit I ordered had Windows 7 installed by the seller. If you can have the seller install Win7 you are going to be better off. Win 7 is the best Operating System to date. Very, very stable software. Better than 8 or any others And this is coming from Computer experts and my own experience.

I ordered mine installed with Windows 7 ("downgrade" option). It came with disks for both operating systems and (I think) disks for recovering both operating systems.

Mine came with windows 8 installed, however if you want another Operating system you may need to install it yourself.
