Ha! This is what my coworkers say to me! (It actually freaked me out--I thought you were one of my coworkers for a second)
Yeah, my school doesn't officially support Macs, but I've been talking to a few students, and they say it's been fine. The only program they need is MS Office. And I think there's a few stats programs that only run on Windows, so they flip over using bootcamp or parallels.
I got back to the "Apple World" around 7 months ago when the Intel processor was launched, later I sold the iMac 20'' I had bought to a friend and bought the new 24'' with the Core 2 DUO. To be honest, nowadays when I get to work and see the PCs, I just want to go home
.
The excuse that there are no applications for OS X, no games, nothing, went down because now Mac users can even run windows, even the boot of the windows in my iMac takes only 15secs (much better than that with my PC notebook) through parallels soft: https://www.parallels.com/. Problems of course they exist, but once you get used to the OS X platform you'll neve want microsoft anymore. Here one example of parallels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmzNhmbYrmo
One bad thing is that parallels still does not have support for 3D applications which means no games yet (I really like the Championship Manager
).

One can also use the boot camp: https://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
Another good thing is that there are plenty of freeware stuff for Mac here: https://www.pure-mac.com, instead of buying the office I just downloaded the NeoOffice, which is very similar too the MS Office pack.
So far no complaints, using my iTunes perfectly, almost no system failures, no "blue screens", no firewall and viruses, and Windows when I need. It's been coll

Thanks kwam--good summary. Do you know when the new hardware (Santa Rosa?) for the Macbook's will be out? I know that Leopard is pushed back until Nov or so. I need to get my new computer by July or so, and I'm not sure if I should just do it now, or if I should wait.
As far as programs go, I heard that Word 2004 has a note-taking program that is somewhat similar to OneNote, so I think I'll be all set there. The students I talked to said they pretty much never had to switch over using bootcamp/paralells, so I'm not too worried about compatibility issues.
If you have any other tips/info, I'm all ears.
