First, how is the virus claim not accurate? To date, there are no known viruses for Mac OS X. None. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Second, I also have been using Microsoft Office on the Mac for a while, and I have no problems. In fact, Office 2004 with the latest Service Packs is really very nice.
Third, if I need Windows, I can just reboot my Mac and run Windows now. Since Apple transitioned to Intel chips, all of the new Macs can run Windows, too. In just three clicks, I can be booting Windows just like any other PC laptop. Except that when I'm done doing whatever it is I needed/wanted to do (most likely playing a video game), I can reboot back into the best operating system in the world.

I'm a big fan of Final Cuts Pro, otherwise in today's business environment you pretty much arte forced into MS Office on a Windows platform. Yeah, I know there are Mac-compatibles. But it is what it is.A few questions:
