VMWare and MSOffice work on Leopard?

[safetyobc]

Just curious if programs like VMWare Fusion and MS Office for Mac will work after Leopard is released as they do now?

I am planning on buying a MB or MBP in the next few days. I want to get VMWare with WinXP (only because I have a couple of Windows only programs).

They should work no problem, right? I will likely buy the MB of MBP, then pay the $10 to upgrade to Leopard in a couple of weeks.

any info would be appreciated.

VMWare Fusion 1.1 Beta improves support for Leopard

Office will work, but unless you really need MSOffice, I greatly recommend NeoOffice, which is free...

Thanks!

I will likely run Neo Office for a couple of months and see how I like it.

Can I open MSOffice files with NeoOffice? And can others with MSOffice open my files from NeoOffice?

Files are compatible both ways between NeoOffice and MS Office on Mac and PC

Not only is it free, but until January, MS Office won't be very fast, as it is not yet made to suit Intel processors (the word for this is Universal). Personally, I think I may buy Office:08 if the student pricing remains the same, as it looks very good...

It says on Apple.com's store that if you buy MS Office 04 that you will get a free upgrade to MS 08 when it is released.

Sounds good? My wife is a student and is the one who will be using it, so how do you get the student discount?

Here is the link to the Apple Store for education

Sooo, the education price is $149.99?

I thought it was cheaper than that. Maybe I am thinking of iWork.
