Does windows 2008 excel, word, etc, work on Lion?

I use windows for Mac 2008 so that I can share and be compatible with co-workers that use PCs. Will Windows 2008 still work on Lion?

I assume you mean you use Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, (not Windows 2008.) If so, then yes, Office 2008 or later will work with OSX Lion.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Migrating from a real scalable OS like AIX or any other flavor of Unix, like Linux to a non-scalable OS like Windows 2008 can not be recommended.
If you do this only for cost reasons, you should reconsider.
My guess is this is some managerial directive.I agree with you that any flavour of *nix is better than Windows, but the reality is that there might be situations where a Windows-platform is better.
If the entire server park is Windows, then the delivery will be better with a platform change. It's much likelier that the machine will stand abandoned in a corner, slowly rotting away if nobody really knows how to to manage the beast...
The world isn't black and white, and it isn't always about which is the better technical platform. If it was, the whole world would be using *nix-servers... ;-)
//Johan, OCP and Unix/Linux sys admin since 2000

Will I loose apps (excel, word,etc...)when I delete the orig admin. on a used Mac pro

I purchased a used mac book pro late 2009 model and wanted to know if I will delete the applications(excel,word,etc...) if and when I delete the original administrator. I was able to create a new administrator ID, so I want to delete the previous admin. Also what else would you reccommend in setting up the Mac book to get the old owner info off the system, is there a way/ how do i change the system password, etc...? Obviously I am new to macs, any and all info would be great! Thanks for the help!!!

Did the seller give you the License keys and the DVD disc, or discs, to re-install and re-activate those MS Office programs? If not then you should delete them as they are not yours and he sold you pirated software.
Also if that 2009 Mac came with Mac OS X Lion installed when you got it that is another piece of pirated software and you will have no way of Reinstalling that version of OS X without the sellers Apple ID and Password.
Also did he supply the Original System Discs, which there should be 2, with the system? If not you will need to contact Apple and get a Set of Replacement Discs for that system for a fee of around $40. Then wipe the drive, reinstall the version of OS X that originally came with that system. Then get whatever discs or downloads are needed to upgrade that system to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then buy Lion or Mt Lion from the Mac App store using your own Apple ID.
Or you could just return it to the person that sold it to you and get your money back.
Caveat Emptor.

Windows 2008 Group Policy not working in Windows 8.1

Hi ,
We found that the GPO settings created in Windows 2008 is not working in a Windows 8.1 machine.
One example is the proxy settings.
We confirmed from gpresult that the GPO is in the list but checking the actual proxy settings, it is not applied.
Regards,
Jhun

Hi,
How did we configure the proxy settings, using Internet Explorer Maintenance? If it is this case, just as Martin suggested, we can’t use IEM to manage
IE 10 and IE 11. However, we can configure the proxy setting via Group Policy Preferences (GPP).
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.
Configuring Internet Explorer 10′s
Proxy Via Group Policy
http://johnfail.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/configuring-internet-explorer-10s-proxy-via-group-policy/
In addition, when we use this GPP extension, pay attention to GPP F5-F8 keys.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.
Group Policy Preferences F5 F6 F7 F8 “documentation”

Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp. However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.) Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment. If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware. (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.) So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini. Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations. (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.) And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it. Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series. Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange. While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series. You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model. From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop. Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software. (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice. I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
So yes, it will work. But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

Word, powerpoint and excel are not working with lion. Has anyone else had this problem

Word, Powerpoint and Excel have stopped working since downloading Lion. Has anyone else got this problem?

Which version? If it is 2004, then you are out of luck - Lion no longer supports apps written for PPC processors, only Intel. There is no solution, either go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade to a later version of Office (2008 or 2011), or switch to another bracnd (OpenOffice, iWork).

Windows 2008- Account Lock not working and getting Domain Policy access denied

Hi
Windows 2008 Root Domain we tried to Edit the policy and we were getting the error "Access Denied on the Domain Policy template" we resolved by giving Write permission for authenticated user on the Template. later we applied account lock out policy.
but it is not applying and automatically reset to 0 in account lockout tool.
Error:"Access Denied:\\sysvol\Domain.com\policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\Windows NT\SecEdit\GPTmpl.inf.Make sure that you have the right permission to this object.

Hi,
The error message is Access Denied, so it should be a permission issue.
You mentioned that you tested the account lockout in isolated network, it was working fine without any problem, by which did you mean that you didn’t get the Access Denied error message, or account wasn’t lockout out?
If you are facing account lockout problem, here are some troubleshooting articles below for you:

Does Sonnet Express Card 34 eSata Work with Lion?

I am looking to see if the Sonnet Express Card 34 eSata works with Lion OS

If your card is listed on the product site from Sonnet (e.g: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html), you could get the answer by looking at the "Technical Specifications". Be sure that you're looking at the specifications of the correct card, since some seem to be compatible and some are not. Furthermore, if your card is based on the Silicon Image Sil3132 chip, it's (today) not supported. If there are any doubts left, try to connect Sonnet directly...

Why doesn't it work anymore? I just paid for pfd to Excel, Word, etc function through Adobe...

I'm signed in but the program asks me to sign in when I try to convert a file. Then it asks me to pay again! It was working fine for about an hour...then this snafu...

[topic moved to Acrobat.com Services forum]

Anyone notice Powerpoint, Word and Excel do not work after Lion install? Is there a work around?

I just upgraded to Lion. Now when I try to open Word, Powerpoint or Excel I get an error which says: You can't open the applicatoin Microsoft Excel because Power PC appliactions are no longer supported.
Has anyone seen this? Is my software too old or do I need another software upgrade?
Thank you

You software is too old. You need to move to Office 2008, 2011 or use iWork or use Open Office (or Libre Office, or NeoOffice, etc.)

Does windows azure service management APIs work for windows azure pack setup as well ?

Does Service Management REST APIs(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx) for Azure work with

Hi,
Windows Azure Pack is basically a proof of concept.
So, it will not have all the features that Windows Azure has in the cloud.
Some services such as Cloud services & storage services are not available.
