Hello. I’m new to the forum and new to Macs. Although I don’t own one yet, I’m strongly considering getting one for my business (a write off that my accountant says I could use). And “business” is one of the key terms for me. I would very much appreciate member input regarding running software that has been primarily designed for Windows. In particular, I regularly use MS Office, Quickbooks, Quicken and Adobe Acrobat. I’ve read reviews regarding the compatibility of these products with the Mac platform. These reviews were on the Apple website that listed the above software for sale and the reviews were generally negative. The complaints centered on very slow response times, unfamiliar screen appearance, different key strokes and mouse clicks and the general stability of the software (i.e., crashes, etc) in the Mac operating system.
I’d like to hear members’ thoughts/experiences with these applications. My only other request is that you make your responses fairly simple, if possible, as I am not familiar with much of the Mac terminology.
Thanks in advance for your help!
