Hi everyone,

JUST ordered my new G4 laptop. Not too knowledgable about macs. If I install virtual pc, can I also install a copy of XP pro that I have? That version has all the microsoft software that I need: word, powerpoint, excel etc.

OR do I need to buy Microsoft Office for Macs which also contains those apps?

Anything else a new Mac owner should know??

THANKS so much for any advice!!

    With VPC installed, you should be able to install and run PC software albeit with a sizeable speed/functionality loss. (VPC isn't very good at what it's suppossed to do.)

    I suggest going with MS Office for Mac - you'll be much happier with its performance and all your files that were created in PC should be readable by MS Office Mac
