He's really picky about computers, and wouldn't consider a Mac before it got the new Unix-based operating system. He's been thoroughly impressed with the Mac and all the stuff that's built into it. However, he never used Microsoft Office or any of its components, so compatibility is a non-issue for him -- and thus I can't comment on that side of it.
