In response to your responses!!!
1) Wouldn’t Office 2004 be quite old? Is there a new Version coming out? What is the cost of the suite? More importantly. Can I continuously edit my doc on both a Mac and PC? Example, edit at night at home on my mac and then open in the next day on pc and edit again? Basically, can I got back and forth?
2) My outlook info is stored on a 3rd party exchange server. Entourage can simply sync up to this with no problem?!?!? That’s awesome!!!
3) So, the Mac can look at my external hard-drive, that I use as a backup with my XP laptop and use the same files?
4) Cool!!!
5) What I meant by plug-ins were video play, music player, Active-X, stuff like that…
6) Excellent!!!
THANKS AGAIN!!!
BTW Vlad…You going to get a 335?

1a) Office for the Mac retails for $400 and $500 for the Standard and Pro version respectivelly. I 99% sure Office 2004 is the latest version for the Mac.
1b) Yes, you can go back and forth seemlessly. You can always edit office files with the Mac version and/or the Windows version without any hassle. "It just works."
2) Again, I'm pretty sure Entourage will work with exchange. Try this
link for more info.
3) yep!
4) yep!
5) Active-X stuff won't work, but so what. There are Mac versions for everything else.
6) yep!
Also, you can always dual boot into Windows for those 1 or 2 applications on Windows you still want to use (like games) if you have a version of XP you can install. You can buy software from Parallels to run Windows at the same time with OS X too if you want, but it costs something like $40.
