Android is certainly a new ball game - I had the same problems when I bought my first Android device.  However, you'll soon get the hang of it.  I think the first thing you have to understand is that Android is highly configurable by the tablet supplier and unlike Windows or Apple based systems, the basic package can vary greatly - not all Android devices are equal!

As I said in my last post, I believe your tablet does not come with Play Store pre-installed, which is why you are having a problem downloading MS.  Since finding a Play Store that will work with your tablet could be a problem (you could try searching on the net for one, this link might point you in the right direction - http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/hs...sue.55462/ - but, as a new user, you probably won't want to get involved in flashing a new ROM).

Instead,  I suggest that you go to SlideMe (using your tablet's browser) at http://slideme.org/ .  Register (free) and then download and install their SAM  applications manager.  Once you've doe all that, you can download MS from their site (I know it's there because that's from where I first got it).

Thinking about it, I seem to remember, when I was looking for the specs for your tablet, that one of the photographs showed the SlideMe icon on its screen, so you may already have that installed.
