PC and MAC versions are not the same!!!!!!!
I'm sure you will want to get MS Office for your MAC. I did when I changed from PC to MAC about 18 mos ago. BUT I am finding out MAC Excel and Word are not as easy to use as their PC counterparts. I am taking an advance Excel class that uses PC Excel 2007 and there are some features in it that are missing on my MAC Office 2011.
I can guarantee you will get very frustrated at times, I have and still do.
That being said it is smooth opening and working across platforms with both versions of Office. It's not ideal but the best we got.
I don't understand why Microsoft can't use the same software across platforms with minor behind the scenes adjustments. Both are now Intel products and it would stop a lot of the *****ing about their MAC products.
Migrating from Windows 7 to a Mac Mini. I have MS Office on my Windows PC and have many Word and Excell documents to copy over. Should I continue with MS Office or get something like iWork? I know that I can convert documents and spreadsheets in iWork to a reasonably compatible Office format, but i'm thinking more from a practical and performance point of view.
