[QUOTE="Kuwisdelu, post: 579644, member: 44361"] About 90% of the time there actually is a Mac alternative that is sometimes better than the Windows version. Sometimes I actually find it easier to find software for Mac than for my old PC because there are SO MANY programs written for Windows that many of them are just crappy. With Mac, there is a higher percentage of quality applications. What kinds of software are you worried about not being able to find? List some programs you need here and we ay be able to help. Or better yet--look through some of the other threads on this forum about useful applications first. There's a great wealth of information around here. As for myself, I've only run into needing a Windows software once. It was the statistical program SAS, which is no longer developed for Mac. I had to install virtual Windows XP using VMWare Fusion and I run it there. [/QUOTE]
