I hope to get some opinion regarding to running Window on Mac.
I'm a degree student myself, just switched from Window to Macintosh and word processing is required for assignment. I know iWork should perform just fine on the purpose, but I got alot of Microsoft Documents and the campus is distributing learning material in Microsoft Office format. Therefore, I need to run Microsoft Office in my Mac. However, the Mac version of Microsoft Office is real expensive and I was planning to get Parallel Desktop 7 instead (to run window on mac, I do have original window version of Microsoft Office). So which option is better? 1. Microsoft Office (Mac Version) 2. Parallel Desktop 7 + Window OS |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Sep 24 2011, 12:40 AM) Wouldn't PD7 + Windows be more expensive than just Office for Mac? They are almost the same in term of price.The option 2 might be cheaper if I can get Window OS FREE from MSDN. Added on September 24, 2011, 12:08 pm QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Sep 24 2011, 09:36 AM) try to find out if u can get office for mac cheaper from ur university. my uni sells them for AUD 99. Really?! May I know which UNI is it?  Added on September 24, 2011, 12:10 pm QUOTE(wiraone @ Sep 24 2011, 07:43 AM) I believe the price of PD7 + Win7 should be the same as buying the Office for Mac student edition. Why going for a headache.. Btw, it comes with 3 license codes too.. Might be able to sell the two license codes to your buddies Buddies are all using Window Platform.

QUOTE(JohnnyBeGud @ Oct 11 2011, 04:44 PM) Bro, did you bought the software together with a Mac? Coz i went to machines and they said edu price only for those purchasing together with a Mac.. Cannot purchase separately.. I'm so frustrated right now.. Nope, I bought just the PD7 bundle (just the software), even without any verification of student card or whatever. Btw, I bought mine at Sunway Pyramid Machines, you might want to give it a try. |
