[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1229244, member: 46727"] 1. Boot Camp is only a utility which aids in partitioning your hard drive and prepares it for a Windows installation. You need to supply a legal compatible full install copy of Windows. And yes, once Windows is installed your MBP becomes in effect a PC when you boot to Windows. Office 2010 can then be installed. 2. Office 2010 and Windows can be purchased direct on line from the Microsoft store or at any retailer who sells software and computers. I paid $79 for the Home and Student version of Office 2010 when it was on sale. 3. Office 2010 and Office 2011 are similar but 2010 has a more professional polished look and feel. That's just my opinion. 4. The downside to using BC to install Windows is that the machine has to be rebooted each time to enter Windows. A bit of a pain. You might find virtual machine software to be more convenient. Parallels, Fusion, and the free VirtualBox can all run Windows in a VM. A reboot is not required when using VM software. [/QUOTE]
