Word for Mavericks, PC version with Boot Camp or Mac Office 2011?

I have clients who need work in Word for their PC environment. Pages is great, but doesn't always faithfully convert design to Word. Micro#@&^! isn't my favorite for anything but I'm trying to decide if I should purchase the PC version and run it via Boot Camp or purchase Office for Mac. Any recommendations?

If Microsoft Office is a fundamental tool in your workflow, as it is in mine, then I would recommend MS Office for Mac 2011. That is the easiest way.

Installing Windows 7 With Boot Camp on Mac Pro 3.1 w/GTX285 Video card

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro 3.1 running the latest version of OS 10.6 with all updates. I have an nVidia GTX285 card installed in the Mac Pro that has been working fine for at least six months under OS 10.6 with Mac drivers downloaded from the nVidia web site and installed under OS 10.6. I replaced the ATi 2600XT video card with the nVidia GTX285 in order to have CUDA support in Premier Pro CS 5 and it works beautifully.
I now wish to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on this Mac Pro. I have never had any version of Windows installed on this Mac Pro. I am using Boot Camp assistant and a new full version of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
My question is do I need to remove the GTX 285 graphics card and replace it with my AT 2600XT before installing Windows 7? This would be a real pain to do because the two connectors to the motherboard are hard to get to. However, since Apple never used the GTX285 in any of its computers, I am worried that I will not have any video display when I go to try and install Windows 7 with Boot Cam assistant.
Please advise me whether removing the graphics card is necessary before installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp.
Thank you in advance for responding.

NO.... he has a workstation, and not MBP, nor are "drivers already loaded."
How I would proceed -
Install Windows on its own drive.
Pull all the other drives.
Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
Forget Boot Camp Assistant, it doesn't do anything - unless you really want to install Windows on the SAME drive as Mac OS - not ideal and not what most of Mac Pro owners do.
Just insert your OS X DVD once Windows is up to date - helps to buy the SP1 OEM version $129.
Run Apple SETUP.exe (Boot Camp 3.0.x drivers) and update with ASU or manually to 3.2.
No you don't need to go back and use that ATI. And you dont' want to be in the situation of changing from ATI to Nvidia and all the hassle that adds. you are fine.
The Mac Pro is as close as anything to a standard Wintel workstation.
Add MS Security Essentials or KIS or whatever you favor. KIS2011 or NIS2011 are good, MSSE 2.0 is free and based on their enterprise product.

Antivirus for iMac running Windows with Boot Camp

I am running Windows on my Mac using Boot Camp. If I install an antivirus, will it protect me when I am logged into windows? Or do I need to install an additional antivirus when I am on Windows?

You only need anti-virus protection for the Windows environment, though this will likely bring out a fire storm of debate.
The most susceptible system is Windows so protect yourself there.

I need help with Boot Camp 2.1! Win XP

I have downloaded the update on Windows XP SP2, but it will not install.
"The installation encountered errors.... Try again at a different time." That's what comes up.
I have tried everything! The command shell thing where you have to type the path of the update file (cmd.exe), I have checked the language code (yes it is 1033) and I have downloaded the files seperately. NOTHING WORKS! I have even re-installed Boot Camp.
I have:
Mac Pro
10.5.4 Leopard
Windows XP SP2
Any help will be appreciated!

I have found a solution!
Well not for installing Boot Camp 2.1 but for installing XP SP3 with Boot Camp 2.0!
I found it on a website but I can't remember which one. But here is what I did.
Start> Run:
Type: regedit
Click "OK"
On the left side of the window there should be a panel with folders name similar to "HKEY_....". Click on:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE> SOFTWARE> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version> Double click "Setup"
On the window should appear a few files next to the panel on the left. The file type should have "REG" then something after it.
Check in the "Name" column that you DO NOT have "BootDir". If you do then this is not the answer for you!
If you don't have that file:
Click EDIT> NEW> STRING VALUE
Name it: BootDir
Right click the file and go to Modify.
Then type in: C:\ and press OK (Or if another drive is your main drive (eg. D) then type in the letter of that drive instead of C (eg. D:\)).
Restart the computer and go into Windows again. Then download the SP3 update in whatever way you have done before.
The installation should continue without the message saying "You need more memory" or something.

Then close finder wait a few seconds, get info again and see that file size is slightly larger. The final file size was 4+ GB for me

Partition HD for WIndows 7:

Choose the 3rd option Install Windows 7
It will ask you to select a size of your Harddrive space for Windows OS, this will eat up some of the free space on your Mac HD. How much space is enough for a Windows OS? Depends on how many programs you plan to install on it. If you are just using for surfing web and running MS Office, probably 30-40 GB is enough, and this is what I did. Remember this space will be used up from your existing HD and not usable when you are in Mac OS. This process takes about 10 mins I think
Install Win 7 OS:
With USB drive in port or DVD in drive, restart laptop.
It will bring up the Win 7 installer on boot up
Select the OS type that you have a registered key for
It will ask you to find a HD to use for Win 7 OS:
Select the HD you just created, if you try to continue it will complain that HD is wrong format (because MAC formatted it to a MAC compatible HD, we will fix this)
Select the HD, there is a button to the right for "advanced" I believe is the text of it. It will allow you to reformat the drive, choose NTFS which it requires. Then proceed
Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
Select Default Boot Drive:
By default it selects Windows as your default OS to boot at power up, most people want Mac OSX to be the default, so this can be changed:
Finder > System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Mac
Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

Why use Boot Camp: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program. Boot Camp lets you do that with the speed and smoothness of a full windows OS.
How is it different from Mac Virtual Machine: A VM allows you to run another OS simultaneously while you are running OSX, while in a window similar to any other application. A VM is not as fast, smooth, and may have limited screensize/view.
Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp

I managed to install windows 7 professional x64 bits but however when i tried to install the drivers using the OSX MAC CD using boot camp, it prompt me boot camp x 64 is unsupported with this computer model. Then i tried the method by right click the bootcamp x64 and managed to install the drivers. However, i still couldnt manage access the internet and it prompts me no networking hardware detected...Any idea how can i solve it?
P.S i tried updating my bootcamp version 3.0.4 in mac os with bootcamp x64 version 3.1 exe but it shows me weird wording..
my bootcamp version in windows 7 is 2.1..

Uninstall 2.x totally
Use CCleaner Registry tool
Do whatever you need to to nuke the existing Apple programs and folders hidden here and there also.

I need to know which update(s) I can apply to help stabalize the system.

Only Apple could hamstring and tie Mac OS to Windows. There isn't any other than whether you can download the drivers into Windows (you can) but Apple puts a block on the installer setup even if your mac does not support it.
Windows 7 needs at least Boot Camp 3.1 and 3.3 is what you should already have. And you are not getting security updates if you don't have at least 10.6.8 as was pointed out. --- you arent using Software Update as you should. And you should backup and clone Mac (and Windows) as well.
You need Mountain Lion to use Boot Camp 5.x which supports Windows 7 & 8 and 64-bit.
I would upgrade to Lion if you can realizing that Rosetta and PowerPC are no longer supported though.

Is there a download of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software if I'm not using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3?
Yes, you can download the Boot Camp 5 Support Software here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1638
How do I use the Boot Camp 5 Support Software I downloaded from the web page?
The download file is a .zip file. Double click it to uncompress it.
Double-click the Boot Camp disk image.
Copy the Boot Camp and "$WinPEDriver$" folders to the root level of a USB flash drive or hard drive that is formatted with the FAT file system (see question below for steps on how to format).
Install Windows, leaving the flash or hard drive attached to the USB port of your Mac.
Installation of the drivers can take a few minutes. Don't interrupt the installation process. A completion dialog box will appear when everything is installed. Click Finish when the dialog appears.
When your system restarts your Windows 8 installation is done.
Note: If the flash drive or hard drive was not attached when you installed Windows and was inserted after restarting into Windows 8, double-click the Boot Camp folder, then locate and double click the "setup.exe" file to start the installation of the Boot Camp 5 Support Software.
How do I format USB media to the FAT file system?
Use Disk Utility to format a disk to use with a Windows computer. Here's how:
Important: Formatting a disk erases all the files on it. Copy any files you want to save to another disk before formatting the disk.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk you want to format for use with Windows computers.
Click Erase, and choose one of the following from the Format pop-up menu:
If the size of the disk is 32 GB or less, choose MS-DOS (FAT).
If the size of the disk is over 32 GB, choose ExFAT.
Type a name for the disk. The maximum length is 11 characters.
Click the Erase button and then click Erase again.

A Potential Convert Looking for Some Help with Boot Camp

I posted this in the Macbook Pro forums, and somebody directed me here. Hopefully you can help me with my questions.
Hello,
I have been a PC user ever since I can remember. I have loved the operating system and have had a Dell Laptop for 4 years now without any problems at all. I have no qualms with the Windows Operating Systems. But, it is time for me to get a new laptop, as I will soon be heading off to college. I was thinking about getting another PC, as they are significantly cheaper than the lower-end MBP that I would get, but I was also thinking about trying out a Mac. I plan on using this laptop for most of my undergraduate education though, so I don't want to buy something and find out it isn't what I want or I can't use it. So, if you would help me, I would like to ask some questions about the lower-end Macbook Pro, and I may just end up getting one.
First things first, I am going to be going into engineering, likely mechanical or systems, at either WPI, Northeastern, or Tufts. Ah the experience of choosing colleged. I know Tufts uses AutoCAD, WPI uses SolidWorks, but I am not sure which Northeastern uses. Either way, I most certainly will be using a CAD program. I know that most CAD programs do not work on Macs, so I will likely be using Boot Camp. I have though seen on these boards that the AutoCAD licensing does not work with Boot Camp, or that some users have faced major problems with it. If this is so, then it is highly likely that I will be unable to get a Mac as that program is going to be an absolute necessity. Even if this is just a small percentage of the population, I do not want to find mine being of major issue. For those of you who have gotten it to work, how difficult was the installation, and have you had any issues with AutoCAD or the like? With this in mind, would you even suggest that I get a MBP?
Another Boot Camp question. I have read many posts on these boards discussing different partitioning options, yet I still am unsure what they all mean. I expect to use the Windows side for more than just AutoCAD. I likely will install some games on it for when I am bored, and Microsoft Office, as I do not wish to spend the extra money buying Office for Mac and I need to have the versatility of Excel that I have heard is not found in the Mac version. What is the difference between these two partitioning types, which would you recommend, and how much storage should I partition if I get a 200GB hard drive?
Yet another Boot Camp question, sorry for so many of these. My friend who has a Mac lauds it for its security, nobody makes viruses for Macs. As I will most definitively be using Windows in Boot Camp, would this compromise this security? I know it will be Windows, but I still imagine that it would be encoded somewhat differently then normal, but I could be wrong. Also, if it is possible for the Windows portion to get a virus, could that affect the Mac portion?
Also, I don't use an iPod. I suppose I always thought they were overpriced for what they do. Instead I use an Iriver Clix 2, and I love it. The only thing is, I use Windows Media Player to sync it with my library. I know many have qualms with WMP, but I personally favor it more than iTunes, but that is just me. I do not believe that you can download it for a Mac. If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Finally, is the battery life any different when using Windows than when using Leopard? I will likely be using the Windows portion in the class room.
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I am certainly hoping that I can get some solid answers to make an educated decision before getting my next laptop. I would like to thank you very much for any help that you are able to give me. I do hope you can help me quickly. Thank you.

I can't answer all your questions, especially not anything having to do with CAD.
I still imagine that [Windows] would be encoded somewhat differently then normal,
No. Windows is Windows. You will need a good Windows antivirus, firewall and antispyware program. It is unlikely that a Windows virus will infect the Mac partition because, ordinarily, Windows doesn't know how to do anything with the HFS+ formatted Mac partition. However, the existence of products like MacDrive means that it is possible to teach Windows how to write to the Mac partition, so I see no reason why a virus could not be programmed to.
If I were to download it for the Windows portion, I am assuming that I would have to switch to Windows in order to listen to my music then, correct? I can also add music to it via Windows Explorer. Can I do so through the "Finder"?
Yes. Probably/yes.
Finally, is the battery life any different when using Windows than when using Leopard?
Yes. Windows does not have the battery management that Leopard has. The battery runs down much quicker in Windows.
You didn't ask, but depending on what kind of engineering you want to study, you may be interested in, or even need to, use some flavour of Unix/Linux. On the one hand, you could always create a partition on a PC--or wipe Windows--and install Linux on the PC. That could even be a good learning experience. On the other hand, Mac OS is Unix, but preinstalled. So with a Mac, you would already have a platform for writing shell scripts, you would have Perl and Python built-in, you would have an IDE (XCode Tools) for C/C++/Objective C/Java as well as gcc and make tools already on the disks which come with the computer, and so on.

I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

Can I install Windows 7 with boot camp on my computer, but install all my PC games for it on an external hardrive?

I have a new Mac, but I want to install Windows 7 with boot camp on it. However, I would only really be using it for gaming.
On another post, someone said that you could not install boot camp entirely onto an external hardrive. As boot camp would only be for gaming, then could I install all my games (when I'm given the option to chose the file of where to install) onto an external drive which is correctly formatted? (what is the format too?) Also, would USB 3.0 be ok, or would thunderbolt be a better option (hoping its USB)
Thank you

you will be fine and either are more than enough for even an SSD.
NTFS of course.
Might look thru Google to see if anyone has managed to boot Windows from Thunderbolt, I think someone managed after install and then made a restore image and placed on Tb storage device.
