Follow the instructions on

The pages should answer most questions.

There is no word, excel, photoshop, access, power point and frontpage.
There is Abiword, gnumeric, gimp, mysql. Or use openoffice to get all 
features in one.

Yes, you can use more than one os on your hardware. See above.

Good luck.
