Hi all,
Quick question about using MS Office in the Mac world. I recently made the jump from Windows to Mac and really love it. I have a 2012 MBP with 16 GB, and just bought a Mac Mini (16 GB as well). Problem is I still need to work with MS products (Word/PowerPoint/Excel) for work, and have decided to bite the bullet and buy the MS tool vs Pages/Numbers/KeyNote to ensure compatibility. But in reading the forums, Seems most people use the Mac version of office, but was wondering the pros/cons of using a VM (I have VM Ware Fusion). I'm trying to decide which to buy, the Mac version or the Windows version that I could run in a VM. Of course I'll have to buy 2 copies (Ouch), but I don't see a way around that. So, all things being equal, which should I buy? Appreciate any advice.
Geoff
