Mac or not Mac & Win 2003 Server

[Guest]

What do you think about a Apple Macintosh for surfing the Internet?? I just will get a Server powered by Win 2003 Server. I will go sure that I can share files on the Network. Do you know some Applications for Mac that make me able to run something like Microsoft Office 2003 or XP?? Answer would be really nice!

Macs are computers just like Windows PCs and can surf the Internet in the
same way. Many sites are Windows-centric so that they break when viewed from
a Mac, but the problem is mostly just appearance. However, some sites won't
work altogether. This isn't a Mac problem. It's a problem introduced by the
developer of the website by not testing his site on more than just a Windows
machine.

Microsoft does make Office for Mac as well. It has been lauded as better
than the Windows version, however much of the functionality that comes from
Windows .NET is not available to the Mac versions of Office. If you won't be
working in a Windows domain environment where Office is tied into server
workflow systems, then you won't be missing anything.

Hope this helps! bill
