Answer 2

Hello Naomi C,

You can double-check Microsoft's Mactopia web site that talks about the various Microsoft products that work on the Mac OS X.

I kind of doubt that it is available. The other option is downloading Boot Camp from the Apple web site, install Windows, boot the MacBook into Windows, and then install and run Microsoft Money into that.

Another alternative is to use some of the other great financial software that is available for the Mac OS X. I imagine that you have all of your files in that Microsoft program. I'm not sure if there would be any file compatibility with the Macintosh programs. That might be worth you looking into.

I would recommend you checking out some of the software web sites and do a search for financial programs Check these out.

I have microsft office on my macbook (without running windows). if there's universal/mac software for it, it'd probably be some in a microsoft buisness package for mac OS.. otherwise there is bootcamp software to run it on a mac. when the new mac OS lepoard comes out, boot camp wouldn't be needed to run it.

edit: just checked, the standard microsoft packages don't appear to microsoft money, so he would need to have bootcamp to run it, which is not a big deal, it'll just take up a little more space on the hard drive.

Apple products have been greater advantageous in the photograph arts, track and video production marketplace for quite it gradual now. notwithstanding places of paintings that run totally on Apple products additionally prefer the help of workplace purposes. OpenOffice has finished a sturdy job of helping that for Mac consumers yet nonetheless not as solid and present day as MS workplace i think of. i admire my Mac for my very very own corporation and pastimes yet in addition have my Win XP device sittin there for paintings which I not often use anymore yet even then i don't think of one is greater advantageous over the different. it easily relies upon on the consumer and what the prevalent purpose of the device is. i think of if MS have been to decrease out Apple thoroughly they'd have a frustrating time preserving their youthful consumer base in view that they are going to have not any option to flow with a hundred% Mac, get used to that and save that custom in the time of their existence only like we did with homestead windows.
