[QUOTE="LindsayM, post: 756862, member: 74080"] Although I was introduced many moons ago to computing via Mac, my first laptop was a macbook 610 if I remember rightly. Due to pressures of work etc windows edged into my life and has been there ever since. Many a sidelong glance at the Mac store has been given but now if I can get over some software issues I am going for a new MBP 15" will bells and whistles. Main issues are that I use MS Word, Excel extensively, Outlook for email. PowerPoint less so. I was confident all I had to do was purchase MS Office 2008 for a Mac and it was job done............until I read the reviews on Office 2008. Now although I use Excel extensively I am not a space cadet so my applications are fairly light with little or no macros involved. What is the general experience here, I already know about the excellent operating system and overall experience but I need to communicate with PC users via office formats so to speak, will I run into difficulties. I already have discovered some small programs to transfer my email and address book etc from Outlook 2007 to Mail. Comments please Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
