[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1186142"] 1. Why on earth would anyone want to open a second internet browser? Google "Safari Tabs" and prepare to be amazed. 2. Windows software works fine on Macs -- if you also install Windows. There are many paths to that goal, but before you do any of them -- ask yourself why do you NEED Windows software?? You mention "office documents," which I assume means things like Word files, Excel spreadsheets, Powerpoint presentations? Nearly EVERYTHING on a Mac can open Office files natively, and save them back in that format as well -- starting with Microsoft Office for Mac, the ORIGINAL ms office btw, not to mention iWork, Open Office, even TextEdit (well, for word files). In short, you gotta stop with the "stinkin' Windows thinkin'." :) PS. How to "find something like Photoshop" -- go to a store, buy the Mac version of Photoshop. If you're looking for some alternative to Photoshop, let us know with some specifics what you are actually trying to do, and we can make some suggestions -- and yes, there is a Mac App Store, but apps ARE "actual programs," whether they run on iOS or Mac OS X.
