As others have warned you, I would suggest you wait and see. A wise S/W Development Director (of the board) once told me, "Never buy anything that has a .0 behind it. If you will look at MicroSuck. The public bears the brunt of their debugging testing. Since they have made so much money selling these (really Beta Versions), I am fearful others are going to follow in the same reprehensible fashion. MacAddict Cheer leaders are jumping up and down and waving their pennants over MicroSuck Office Suite for OS X. In my not so humble opinion, the person that values his time should wait until OS X and the offering from the Evil Empire, have been debugged to a large extent by the nerdier contingent of the Macintosh faithful. (Were you aware that Forbe's tagged us as a "Cult Following"?)
My #2 son was a Senior UNIX Programer for S/W Bell. He states, "Unix is difficult for the novice. It is most definitely not user friendly. That is why UNIX people are paid so much. Though complex, It is defiantly a superior operating system. Apple faces a real challenge to develop a user friendly/intuitive interface." My OS 9.1 system is 99% crash free. Thanks to Conflict Catcher's Sets and my removing any S/W extensions, Control Panels, preferences and etc., even remotely connected to MicroSuck. Myself, I plan to give OS X and MicroSuck a three year, debugging window. Most of the people I've come into contact with, that own PowerComputing machines, seem more suspicious of Hype ... than the average Mac Addict or MacWorld subscriber.
