I will definitely check it out! Michael - thanks for stopping by, and thanks for posting that link, I am will check it out! I haven't found any issues with file conversion to date. Although the MS Office suite works fairly well outside of Entourage. Ben - Sometime I switch back and forth, but there is a simple converter from PPT to Keynote and vice versa. Sometimes PowerPoint will butcher your Keynote so its best to check well in advance. You can also export your Keynote to a PDF file which also works great across most video cards and projectors / monitors. Thanks for reading guys! - Greg Steve – thanks for the tip!

How does PPT integrate with Keynote when collaborating on a presentation? Do you switch back and forth? Thanks for answering the Exchange question, for me that and the program compatibility issues are the biggest concerns.

Have you found any issues with conversion of files with your peers on Windows? As a forced Vista user I 100% sympathize with your staff, and look at the Mac OS with great envy. Early Summer '08 their is a quasi-interesting documentary about the anthropology of the Mac community and why Mac is so beloved. Until the release you can view your Mac brethren's movie teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QMhOIySiyE It’s awfully funny how fanatical Mac users are.

I am moving off of Entourage and our hosted Exchange service. I recommend you going with a hosted Zimba service. It not only allows MS Outlook to connect but it also has CalDAV so iCal can subscribe and you can have shared calendars. -Steve I too have been using a Mac for a little over a year and haven’t looked back.
