well you can get office for mac. ofcause its harder to move when all your stuff is in 1 os or another. all my resources are windows based ones payed and not payed. so it makes sence for me to stay with some flavour of windows.

The inability to access Excel and other Office documents easily is the reason I haven't seriously considered moving to a Mac as well. That, and the cost of getting a new computer.

For me, I just don't see why! I should! upgrade other than to please microsoft's expanding pockets, (and in fairness microsoft should've included proppper backwards compatibility, after all it's not as if they don't have the money for developement). In fairness I'd need to investigate the bennifits of mac as an os, though having been quite impressed with vo's performance on the iphone I do know usage won't be as problematic as it would be with the irritating post xp interface. The only thing that puts me off mac is the stupidity with file management for audio files, (I've found a way to get folder structures on the iphone using playlists but it's not what I'd want all the time, and the fact that I need something that opens office and rtf documents. I'd also be concerned that if, as people keep claiming newer windows versions have upgraded this, latest that and more numbers in the other someone would! be more likely to make something I wanted to do on windows than on mac, (particularly since I already have access to a lot of mac stuff on ios).
