Will Mac OS X Leopard run MS applications?

Like what I see with this platform was wondering if it will support Microsoft apps like Office

Absolutely. I work in an all Mac environment, and we use Office for Mac daily.



Only app MS makes that has no Mac version, is Publisher. A dead dinosaur anyway.



Apple also has compatible, and cheaper software like iWork.

No, a Mac will only run Mac applications natively. You can use virtual software like VMWare Fusion to use Windows and Windows software. Also, there is Microsoft Office 2004 for the Mac, but it's terribly slow (in my opinion.)
yes it will you just have to buy software written for a mac. check out Newegg.com for software.
Well there's MS Office for Mac and for the rest of the apps there's wine but be aware that not too many software can be run under wine
ya you can run other platporms process by some virtual environment generators....
Yes it is possible to run a fairly decent number of MS apps on a Mac. I think wine will run some, http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX, but there is a commercial wine application that will run MS on a Mac, it's really easy to install %26amp; configure. Go to http://www.codeweavers.com/



and download crossover office for Mac, there's a 30day trial and the programme will cost you $59.95 to buy, I use the linux version of this and it is very good.



There is a list of supported MS apps including office, photoshop some games and quite a few others, there's a list on the codeweavers site. It is also possible to run unsupported MS apps and some of these run as well as on a windows machine, also a small bonus is that if you install a 30day trial version (in a crossover office "bottle") of a MS app it's possible to remove it after the trial period and reinstall for another 30 days trial and keep doing this.



Even though it does cost $60 it's well worth buying so why not download it and try it out.
