[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1120129, member: 92466"] Welcome and enjoy! Hard drive upgrade won't void your warranty. Try OpenOffice or Neo Office for Mac. I personally use OO and like it a lot. If for some reason you want a more polished office suite, maybe iWork would be a good solution. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote = Word, Excel, and Power Point. Plus it's cheaper than MS Office for Mac. If you copy any files (including your iTunes folder) to an external drive, you can plug that drive into your new Mac and just drag those files onto the Mac. As long as the external is formatted as NTFS, the Windows Machine can write to it and the Mac can read it and you can transfer the files TO the Mac. The Mac won't be able to write to it. Your transition to the Mac way of doing things depends on your open-mindedness. The biggest mistake some switchers make is they try to make their Mac look and act like their Windows machine. It's different so, use it the way it's meant to be used - more efficiently/logically. :) Definitely give these pages on Apple.com a look.
