hey all,

I was just wondering if Microsoft Office 2004 Professional Edition For mac will work fine on a blackbook (both the new 2.16ghz and the old 2.0ghz model).

Its just that i can get it through my School at a great price.

thanks

if you are in school, you should most definitely get the student teacher edition. i think the only difference is the virtual PC, which is unusable or very bad performed.
 
The Macintosh version will run fine under emulation, it loads up fairly quickly for me and I am running at 1.66GHz... I don't know when the universal binary version is coming out.

Yes i know what your saying BUT i can get the Proffesional Eddition for cheaper then the Student teacher Edition..


So besides say virtual Pc its exactly the same to the student teacher edition....

Right, I believe so.
 
Do you need it right this moment? Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac will be out at the end of this year. can't you just do with Neoffice for the mean time,
 
I could do that yes...

But say that i was to buy the professional edition is there a way to not instal the virtual pc..

thanks

Most likely you'll be given a choice... but you'll want to upgrade at the end of this year again to get a native (Intel) version of Office for your Mac.
