Hi, the only thing you might need windows for in this list is
quicken. I don't know if there is a quicken for mac or how accessible
it is, but you could google it and if there is a mac version you could
demo it once you have yur mini.
Windows programs do not work on a mac... Period. Fortunately there
are software writen for mac to acomplish the computing chores you did
under windows and in many cases the software is perfectly accessible,
or at least useable to a degree.
There is a very extensive list of Voiceover compadible mac software.
I don't have the exact URL handy, but if you google voiceover
compadibility list you will get it. It's a bit querky, but will give
you a very good idea what yu can expect from third party functionality.
Best,

Hello,
I'm entirely new to the MAC system, have read numerous exciting
articles about Apple's new platforms, and will probably be
purchasing a MAC Mini within a couple of months. What I can't find
is an answer to the following, and maybe some of you can help, or
point me to previous posts which might: will most currently
available programs and software run on the MAC without the necessity
of installing Windows on the unit? I have a real love affair going
with the Victor Reader Stream, book port, Audible.com, Bookshare,
Quicken, and others, and also utilize an array of plug-and-play jump
drives and memory sticks during the course of a day. Given this
profile, what are my chances of switching to the MAC environment
more-or-less painlessly? If a gap does exist, will a Windows
installation fix it, or are there less costly ways of getting the
job done?
So sorry to cover ground which must certainly have been covered here
in the past, but your input will impact my decision in a major way.
If you can help by supplying websites or other imperical data, it
will assist me in doing my homework for sure.
Thanks in advance,
Dave Bennett
