Okay here is my dilemma. I need to use my Microsoft Outlook 2003 on new Mac. That is only because I have a CRM software that I run on top of Outlook.
I have tried Crossover, but it doesn't really work well because Outlook won't send and receive my mail on the Mac.
My next option was to use boot camp and to install an entire operating system. My HP, I did use, only has a restore disk, so I can't use just install Vista off of it.
Plus, I do not want to spend that much money on a piece of crap Microsoft product, just use it every once in a while for the mail.
I do have an XP install disc, I tried to install it and every time I get to the point where I'm just supposed to hit a return key (in the XP install process) the keyboard input is not recognized.
What do you think - any suggestions? Should I just buy iWork and transfer my contacts to it and forget the CRM software - or spend money for a Windows lic? etc.......
Oh ya, I bit the bullet and bought the 27 in quad core iMac. I have returned after 20 years! Woo hoo!!!!!!
