- I will assume that if it can run windows XP, that I can install my legal versions of Office 2003, Outlook 2003 etc...?? Well, I am running Office 2004 for Mac on mine, but let's just say I didn't exactly buy it. Not sure about existing software from a pc, but mac-to-mac transfers of the software do work
- In addition, I kind find a spec on how much this thing weighs?? 5.2 pounds

I would suggest, if you have the $, to get the 2.0 GHz version. When the Macbook was updated, the 2.0 got most benefit from it. It also has a DVD burner, which is helpful for backing up data. Make sure to wait until Leopard comes out if you do decide to buy.
