Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
I've got a macbook and use NeoOffice which is free and has all the functionality of office.
I'm a MS developer through and through, I have Vista installed on my Mac but use OS X, after converting to OS X I'd never go back.Comment

Don't buy an iMac yet - new ones will be out before Christmas.
You can buy Office for teachers/students - 100 quid.
Open office (neo office on mac) is ok, but a bit flakey.

If you live with a teacher, or you have a child, you can buy it.

LOL, I actually run Vista under bootcamp, so Vista can have full resources and it's runs really fast compared to an equivelient PC. Visual Studio starts up much quicker than it does on my PC, love the MacBook, i bought it not really knowing whether ill like it or hate it, but can easily say now it's the best laptop ive ever owned.Originally posted by Charles Foster KaneI run OS X using parallels to run a Windows VM running PearPC emulating OS X running a Windows virtual machine running PearPC emulating OS X running Windows Vista using Parallels.
I do have Small Business Server running via parallels to do some SharePoint development and for a VM it's really fast.Comment
