Hi everyone, recently I bought a rMBP and installed Mountain Lion on it.
One of the most important things for me is being able to use a good office suite (especially a word processor) which is fully compatible (formatting, styles, etc) with Microsoft Office on Windows (I'll need to be transferring files a lot to computers with MS office for Windows on them, for others to view/edit/print, etc).
What office suite / program(s) would you recommend?
Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 good? What are your opinions on it? Is it completely compatible MS office for Windows?
Additionally I've heard that MS office for Mac 2011 is not yet ready for the Retina display - does it really look bad or it bearable?
Other than that what else would you recommend? Is Apple's Pages completely compatible with every version MS Office for Windows?
I've currently installed LibreOffice and it has several compatibility problems with MS Office for Windows - and I'd really need a word processing program which will have no problem compatibility-wise in regards to formatting, styles, etc. Are there any other open-source ones which are fully compatible?
----
Most importantly, I want an office suite (and a word processing program in particular) which is:
1. Fully compatible with all versions of MS Office for Windows (i.e. no styling/formatting, etc problems when sending files back-and-forth)
2. Looks fairly good on the Retina Display
--Thanks.,
