You can have those three programs on Mac OS.\n\nA few years back Apple and Microsoft signed a deal where they would make verions of the Micorosft suite for Mac.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2004/word2004.aspx?pid=word2004

No. You can't. You have to install Office 2000, not Windows XP.

The software that comes with Windows XP.

Depends on what you are going to use it for and what your preferences are.\n\nI like Macs so I'd say go for the Apple (which can also run XP using Bootcamp if you really want to) but it's more about preference than anything else.\n\n///

If you intend to use software like NORTON, make sure (on the package) its compatible with MAC/OS X. \n\nIf you would like to run windows applications on a MAC you cant, unless you use this new application from APPLE known as BOOT CAMP, which runs windows on a mac.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/\n\nHope this helps!

If nothing else (I used to work for dell and when I worked there there was no support or drivers for Apple OS systems), you could install the new software from apple called Boot Camp and get a copy of a windows XP cd (not an upgrade version) and install windows XP on your apple system in order to use the printer.

Screw Windows, get a Mac!

Yes you can, here's a great article on how to do it.\n\nhttp://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/11/19/mac_pc.html

you can do that.  I'm running virtual PC with windows xp pro in my Macintosh . it works well, you can download any .exe  software (i don't recommend it for games), just a little slower but worthy. if you are planing to use virtual PC ..  be sure you  have a lot of ram ( more than 1GB )\n\nps. if you have a mac and want to use virtual pc .. please get an antivirus. (just to prevent)  i never got ads or spyware

I use a windows based laptop.  It is a Dell D610.  I have been doing a little bit of homework on the MAC vs Windows question because we have folks in our company (in marketing, and in product design ) who want Mac.  What I have found is that the people who are attached to the MAC are attached to it because of perception and maybe the style.  Today there isnt a piece of (necessary) business software on the MAC that cannot be matched on the Windows platform.  Additionally, if a company needs to manage both platforms the cost will not be double, it will be a bit more...

VERY GOOD IDEA!  ME is crappy.  Just be sure not to forget Service Pack 2 on your new XP machine.  I would recommend you start with a clean install.  Good luck.

Not iMac.  Please not iMac.  Not iMac.\n\nGet Windows 2000.  Soo much better than iMac.  And don't believe that "Mac is for playing Windows is for business" because it's not true.  Most games work better on XP than a Mac, and Windows is better to do business on too.

Techniclaly, no, you need at least Windows 98 in order to use your XP upgrade.  But there are workarounds - for example, you'd have to install from Win 95 instead of from booting up.  See the second of the links below for details.

If you had a new Mac with intel but with your older computer there is no other way to run windows unless you use virtualization programs. Try guest pc.

There is no right answer for this question.  My personal preference is Windows because I grew up using it and we only use Windows based operating systems at my work.  \n\nI have touched an Apple computer now and then for fun, but I do not know how to use it, as strange as it sounds.  For example, I have no idea how to install/uninstall software.  I have no idea how to install hardware on a Mac.  I have no idea how to use or understand the applications that come with Apple computers.  What is iLife? iMovie? I only know iTunes since it's also in Windows.  \n\nI hope that one day the operating systems can coexist and dual boot on each other.  I know it's technically possibly right now to dual boot them both on PC's and the new Intel chips that Apple are using, but it's not something the average Joe can do right now.  plus there are hardware compatibilities with dual booting the two operating systems on each others respective computers.  \n\nWe'll wait and see!

you can get osx to run on a dell or an amd. I got bored and its running on my work pc which is a dell and its also running on my xBox. you just need to be not a noob. but honestly if you just switch to mac you will fall inlove. Trust me i switched about 19 months ago. I am an A+ certifed technician my last pc was an AMD 64 FX 53 with 4 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of hdd. i loved my windows but needed a mac cert for my new job so i got one thinking this will suck. i sold my pc 6 weeks later. mac is the only thing i need its so much nicer
