[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 417689, member: 24098"] Whether you will be happy is pretty subjective. I don't think anyone can answer that question definitively, aside from the fact that many people (including myself) are very happy with their Macs. There is a version of MS Office for Mac, although there are some pretty compelling alternatives like [URL="http://www.neooffice.org"]NeoOffice[/URL] that work just as well - and in some cases better than the real thing. There is no version of Outlook for the Mac, Office 2004 includes a program called "Entourage" which is similar, but doesn't have all of the same functionality. Apple's Mail (included with your Mac) is a very good email application. iCal and Address Book integrate with it to duplicate much of the functionality of Outlook. Of course Photoshop was born on the Mac and now runs natively on Intel in its most recent incarnation. You can use iChat to replace AIM or programs like Adium that can emulate multiple Chat clients. My recommendation would be to visit an Apple Store and take a hands-on test drive of a MacBook. [/QUOTE]
