[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 281505, member: 22866"] Ditto everything ToddG said. I'm starting grad school in January at which time I can buy Office (Mac and Win) and Windows software for next to nothing, but until then I am using Tiger only to learn it. I plan to make at least a small partition for XP, but as long as reading Win Office files in Mac Office, I don't plan on using XP very much other than Win only programs. If you're on the fence and curious about Mac, I'd say go for it. As ToddG illuded to, if nothing else, it's a beautiful machine that, while having a couple drawbacks, is very enjoyable to use. Tests show XP with Bootcamp does run apps slower than a native Windows machine, but the differences are minor. I plan to use it at least until I'm out of school and hopefully by then have a company-issued lappy and go back to a desktop (?Mac or Win?) [/QUOTE]
