Re: Warning about Apple Lion
Yes, I discovered this also - however, if you have iWork you can open the Microsoft documents, & then re-save them as Word, ppt etc to email to someone without a Mac. Another option may be to download OpenOffice - it is free. Lion does work with the new versions of Office for Mac - it is $119 for a single Mac, $149 for 3 Macs. Find someone to split the cost 3 ways? I'd also recommend joining the local Mac user group - if you haven't already- cheap - & a great resource because you find out about these things beforehand. Go to ncmug.org & check it out!
I totally agree ---Built in obsolescence is not ok!! but I still would not trade my Mac for any PC under any circs.

Re: Warning about Apple Lion
Yup... Apple is a Giant corporation with a dead founder, its all about the bottom line now. I would trade a Mac for a PC any day. The Mac Pc debate is so old, but just so you know my PC will out run your Mac any day of the week. Also all creatives are not on Macs. The best of us creatives build a Super Computer out of cheap PC parts and disdain apple stickers.
That being said. I do wish I could afford an ipad.
