[QUOTE="CaptSaltyJack, post: 380511, member: 29975"] I'm wondering how I'm going to open other people's Word/Excel docs on my future Mac. Do I have to buy Office for Mac? It kind of scares me that the latest version is 2004. If Microsoft has no plans to ever update it again, why should I invest in it? Is there some other way to open Office docs on a Mac, as well as modify/save them and let others be able to open them? Also, same goes for Entourage. Why use that when it's as old as 2004, and Mail/iCal/Address Book will do the same thing, and I can rest assured those apps are going to be updated on a fairly regular basis by Apple? [/QUOTE]
