[QUOTE="Kash, post: 347731, member: 23444"] If you're dead set on using Office, it makes more sense to get the Mac version as you'll save both time and money (well, more so the time, but then again, time=money). With Boot Camp you have to restart the computer. This is a total pain if you just want to open some Office files. Plus, you're girlfriend would be right, what's the point of getting a Mac if you need to boot into Windows just to do basic office tasks? However, instead of OpenOffice, I would recommend NeoOffice. It's technically the same thing, but looks prettier and doesn't require you to install X11 [/QUOTE]
