I got a link to these forums from a mac-fan friend, so I figured I'd pose a quick set of questions that I've been tossing around in my head.
I just converted from PC to Mac (woo Powerbook!), and having come from PC land I am yearning for some of the familiar software (MS) and for exploring new stuff available to me, but I am totally clueless on how to go about learning about programs for Macs. So, if anyone would be willing to answer some basic newb questions I'd appreciate it...
1) Where is the best place to see what all MS/anyone else offers for us?
2) Where is the best place to buy MS, or any, software for Macs?
3) I am probably going to buy Office - for those that have it, how did you go about choosing it, getting it and did you consider any alternatives?
4) Since I'm coming from PC land, do the Mac versions of MS stuff (or other PC software) differ greatly from one platform to the next?
Thanks everyone, looking forward to your responses.
