I personally haven’t run into compatability issues with MS Office...but then again, everybody we interact with uses OO.
There is a good help section at the website...

that has some info about MS Office compatability
good luck........
Thanks, believe me I would love to find a way out of using windows. Drives me nuts. One thing AAPL could do is join OO and push the technology to support more compatibility - if enterprise users mattered to them.
I wonder why there is not a complete ActiveX compatibility box in Firefox. Somethings work and some things do not. Frustrating. When a website does not work I end up in try this, then try that, then try something else, then fire up Parallels then windows then IE then go through all the update nonsense then bang the website connects. Frustrating. Sometimes these are call that are only set up a few minutes before they begin and I end up missing the beginning screwing around. AAPL needs to do SOMETHING.
I tried your link and it was kind of not that helpful.

Not very encouraging. Again, my complaint is that Macs are not compatible with industry (vs. open standards) and it is a real problem for many business users. I have no problem paying for technology but I need compatibility and that is were AAPL is lacking.
The Mac fanboys just don’t get it and most anti-AAPL posters complain about imagined problems: cost, liberal management, blah-blah.
I have been a Mac user since 1980 and the compatibility is going backwards.
