[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1085892, member: 145676"] 1)2008 is still using Entourage so if you want to easily use PST files you may want to wait for 2011. [url=http://gizmodo.com/5469570/office-for-mac-2011-first-look-ribbons-sharing-and-outlook]Office For Mac 2011 First Look: Ribbons, Sharing, and... Outlook?[/url] Again this is all beta/speculation - things can change before final release. 3)This may be a dealbreaker - my wife puts up with Excel on Mac but she really doesn't like it as macros are missing and all the keys/toolbars are different. She can use it but she isn't as good on it as she is on the PC. In theory 2011 will put VBA macros back, as well as have the ribbon/same interface/keys as the PC version. In all honesty - unless I am just taking a quick look at MS documents - I open up Parallels and use Outlook and MS Office from Windows. PITA and resource intensive just to look at powerpoint/excel/word - but since a lot of documents I get have fancy macros I have little choice but to open them in the Windows OS. [/QUOTE]
