My brother bought a Apple airbook and he wants to run MS Office on it for his excel files etc...
Since my experience with apple is limited i was wondering if it can be done?
And if so what would i need.

use mac office 2004 or 2008 or you can install Windows as a seperate os and run ms office from windows. (only practical if you run various other 'only for pc' applications)
i have several users with macbook airs and they are using mac office 2008 since on the Air the HDD space is very limited.
note: if you use mac office 04 it will run slower and require more RAM because it's power PC not Intel
