Mac with Intel: Unfortunelty it must be installed in order to run a few windows applications that I would like (Outlook), I really dont need all the features that XP or vista offer, i just want to run Outlook and a few other programs...Will this work?

you should use xp. xp is the best option because it is tried-and-true. also, this is the best option, because parallels (the other option) cost zillions, and don't work as well. just remember to get good antivirus software (even free ones are ok), because now you are using windows :P

You can run Publisher on MAC as well as other window based programs with either of two different methods. You can bootcamp your MAC and run Windows on a portion of your hard drive, but you must boot to either the MAC OS or Windows side. THE EASIEST is to install the Parallels for MAC cost about $79.00. You then install your windows operating systems, and then you can run any Windows program side by side with your MAC programs. I love MAC but had 2 Windows programs I had to use WORKS GREAT!!

My version will not run on apple products...only windows based systems. I dont know if they sell a apple based version. I bought a net book with win 8.1 just to run the software.

Ten years ago Macs and the Mac OS were pretty bad compared to Windows and Intel machines. But Mac OS X now that it's settled down is really nice. Disks are so big now, maybe you can afford a corner for a Mac OS playground. :-)Check this 3/29/2007 article on BootCamp 1.2's support for Vista including Aero Glass, and Parallels and VMWare's software for running MacOS and Windows at the same time (VMWare with DirectX with XP):http://weblog.infoworld.com/techwatch/archives/011018.html

I am new to Macbook, and OS X. Using Apple Parallels, a virtual machine, I am running Windows 7 Professional. But I mostly use use an Apple release of Word and Excel; it's easier than starting the VM. But the Windows VM on.com MacBook runs all Windows applications. You can also install Oracle's Virtualbox, a free VM, that also runs Windows on the Mac. I use Virtualbox to run Linux and Android releases.I am a software developer and it's really handy to have all the operating systems running on one system. I highly recommended the Macbook Pro. It's expensive, but worth every penny to me. I am new to Macbook, and OS X. Using Apple Parallels, a virtual machine, I am running Windows 7 Professional.

Windows software, including Microsoft Office, wont's install on Apple iMac. There is Microsoft Office specifically designed for Mac products.

The software runs in Windows. You need Bootcamp or Parallels on your Mac to use their software. The only Mac OSX program which downloads directly from the device is "SleepyHead" (home grown software) and it is only the newest test build of that program which works (unstable nightly builds, on Sorceforge).

With the right install MAC should be fine. I have a local guy I use to do all things re: my computer. That way it's sure to be correct. Tangy

I have a MAC but there are certain programs that seem to run better on PC, (Audible.com, Stamps.com) and i did not want to use Parallels program on the Mac. The Acer works great for me, no problems at all. I am satisfied with the Acer, especially for the price.. I hope this is helpful for you...Chuck

E. Marcucci, I was had a similar situation where I wanted to run real Windows applications. I originally purchased Parallels because I really like the graphic implementation however after 2 unexpected crashes I ended up returning it. The biggest problem I had with Parallels is they have horrid support. Honestly, the support is what really did me in. When I posted to the Parallels I never got a straight answer from a Parallel employee. I ended up sending a private message to one I found and he was helpful but it was a little late. Additionally, e-mail support was terrible and could never get a straight answer about how to return the product. I went with VMWare and have been happy. I was able to successfully use VMWare converter that converted my old Thinkpad laptop to a VMWare image and dump it on the Mac. It work with it every day. My company only support Windows operating system and never had any problem with the converted image. This is one opinion but the choice is yours. Parallels lost a customer with their lack of product support. Thanks

I think the answer is yes. I'm running vista without any problems. Ofice should also work. you might want to [post your question in the mac support forums: http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa or the parallels forums: http://forum.parallels.com/ where you will get a more expert answer

I am currently running the LC version of quicken on my Mac. The Mac version is lacking features. The way you do this is to install parallels desktop which is a program that allows you to install and run windows simultaneously with Mac OS. I am running windows 7. After installing windows you can install quicken and use your backed up file from windows on your Mac.

no. Only Intel-based macs. my older mac, a G4 (PPC) gets an error during install saying you must have an intel processor. Sorry

With the question, I'm not sure what specifics you might be looking for but, this version has Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, and Word. All have been very stable and worked very well with the MAC OS. I have done a number of presentations, spreadsheets, papers and I deal with a lot of email. It's been a great version for me.

You will need to choose. There are 2 versions, one for Windows and one for Mac.
