Even if there's a newer IE 7 coming before the next Windows release, I won't trust what [its company] says. Nothing says that Microsoft will really secure its browser against silent and malicious ActiveX installations, and nothing says that IE 7 will support the many users who still have Windows 98 and 98 SE (and the few users still using Me who bought a "new" OS, which was really so deceptive that they won't even try to upgrade to XP...).
What is consistently frightening is that Bill tries to convince everybody that the only way to browse the Internet is to use the latest version of Windows, in order to be allowed to get security updates on a free browser. Just think about it: IE 6 is no more secure on Windows 98, and Bill decided to stop all developments for Windows 98. Those who didn't want IE on Windows 98 have long since chosen another browser. And IE 7 will not work on Windows 98.
So it's time to really think about what Bill has wanted: to create a captive market where users are constantly required to update their OS every three years, just to be allowed to get decent updates for the tools they need every day, like a browser.

To be honest, I mostly use it as a glorified typewriter. Sometimes it gets a little beyond that in that images can be imported to the documents.
Than Operoffice would meet your needs, you can try it out on windows to see if neooffice woulddo for you on a mac..
Thanks much.
