Well, Apple tablets run iOS, most new non-Apple tablets run Android. There are a few out there that run other operating systems but for the most part those are the big names.
Android is not Windows so you can't install and run programs the same way you would a computer. It has the Android Market which is similar to the app store for Apple.
The ASUS Transformer Prime (and the ASUS Transformer) has an optional (sold separately) keyboard add-on that adds additional functionality and battery life to the tablet as well as essentially turning it into a laptop. In this vein, ASUS has included a pre-installed office suite for productivity applications such as a Word application. These are not Microsoft Office but they are similar.
I hope that answers your question!
