Wrong, the only application a home user MIGHT use that does not have an easy equal in the Apple included office suite is Access the data base.

All web apps are compatible as is Word, Excel, Powerpoint, wave files etc.

When one compares say a dell with similar quality hardware and included productive software even PC mag admits Apple's line of products is a bargain.

So please look into a new trouble free and productive Apple product next time you purchase. You will be glad you did, and have soo much extra time on your hands from not having to patch and reboot and patch and blue screen reboot, you can actually create some original software content to share with family and friends.

I am not being arrogant just factual. Since I use both but MUCH prefer Apple!
