Mac Questions. (: Options

[turkishdog]

My last post, I asked questions on what kind of computer would be best for me and I said I didn't want a Mac. Well, now I'm leaning more towards it. So I have a few questions for you Mac users.

Viruses;
I know Macs don't get many viruses because most of them are made for Windows etc. Do they still need a Virus protection program such a Norton?

Microsoft;
I'll also be using the computer for school work and I need Microsoft Word and such. Does it work on a Mac?

I can't think of anymore questions right now, but if I missed anything please let me know. (: Thanks.

You should just load XP onto the Mac so you can use two operating systems. Check around Apple for programs like Office. I'm sure there are bound to be some.

did you read any of the posts here? it's already been said there is office for mac, and another program (iWork) has already been suggested too...


i'd suggest you don't put XP on your mac because there is really no point imo. why use the crappier more virus susceptible operating system when you just use the nicer safer one? once you put windows on it then you will have to worry about virus software. then you'd have to have a copy of windows and something like parallels to run it. more money, more viruses, no point.
