I live in Israel. When I tell friends about Macs and how good they are, the first question they ask is: “Can I use MS Office on a mac” And sadly, I have to say, Nope, you can’t.

Usually, when software is updated, the newer version is better then the older, call it the evolution of software. Just yesterday, Steve Jobs announced in his keynote that about %20 of the OS X user base has already updated to Leopard within the first 2 months.

Yesterday, the MacBook Air, an ultra-light laptop was announced at Macworld 2008.
