Is Microsoft Office compatible with the Mac?

Question

Am looking to buy a Mac and would prefer Office to iwork. On the site it says it is compatible with files. But can you use it as the word processor?

Answer 1

You have to buy Office 08 for Mac (probably 09 soon)

It's very cheap here:

It's for students, but if u r an adult just pretend u r a student.

I use it (i am a student btw)

Answer 2

Yes, Office for Mac 2008 contains full versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as a couple of other Microsoft programs.

Only problem is, it runs like c**p on all systems and you will be better off just getting accustomed to using iWork. It's the cheaper option and in the long run will serve you better.
