Default Re: Mac question

I honestly see no need for MS Office with Neo Office and Open Office both having complete compatibility with the docx file format. Unless you're doing a word processing class (which requires you to do something a certain way) there should be no reason you can't do what you need with a free office suite. Generally speaking, what you can do on one you can do on the other (at least in kind).

Most universities offer discounted office software, and Microsoft generally offers a discount to students with a .edu email address if you find you do really need their products.

I will say that although Neo Office is generally rated higher than Open Office, I've gotten sick of the lack of a proper in-app update solution. Having to continually go to their website to download the latest updates is not convenient. I've switched to Open Office and like the Mac port very much since the release of 3.0.
