need Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate for School.

Hello, i am a College student, and i am in a class where i need office 2007 ultimate. The problem is i have a MAC computer, and that suite of office isn't made for mac...is there ANYWAY possible i could get this to work on a mac computer without having to install Windows??

Why do you specifically need Office 2007? Do you need one of the Office 2007 programs that aren't available in the Mac version of Office 2008, such as OneNote or Access? Or perhaps you need the ability to use VB macros?

well the instructor said we needed 07, and the book we follow i guess is specifically for 2007. I also need access.....is 2008 similiar to 07?

'04 '08 and later this year '11 are the Mac versions.

'03 '07 and '10 are the Windows versions.

They are not identical, although they do share some commonalities. The biggest problem is that if your texts specify particular processes, it will be difficult to follow with the Mac versions.

I would recommend purchasing 2007 as specified. Typically your school will have special educators pricing. You could easily install Windows in a virtual machine using something like VirtualBox (free) or one of its more refined pay-for competitors like VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop.
