    I ordered my macbook today and was wondering where I can get bootcamp and how much that program was. Also how much does parallels cost and where can I get it?

    Is there a free office program that is 100% compatible with Microsoft Office Word? I would like to do some writing, but want to make sure the program I will be using is compatible with my home PC.

    COngrats on your new purchase. You can get bootcamp off the apple site. Bootcamp is in beta and is free. Parallels is available on www.parallels.com and costs $79.99.

    I can't help you with Office...I'm still a newbie.

    Try openoffice.org It's supposed to be compatible with Office.

    I'll second that, OpenOffice is free and as far as I know is fully compatible - or at least close.

    Google recently launched their Docs and Spreadsheets service. It's in beta and free :)
