It seems to be a fact of home working / web 2.0 working life. There's a predominance of Macs. Be interesting to figure out why.

I can think of a few possible factors...
1) Creative people have historically used Macs because of their dominance in the digital media industries.
2) Mac laptops are well designed and lightweight, so genuinely carryable.
3) The OS X system is comparatively reliable and pleasant to use.
4) Perhaps there are just more pictures of macs because they''re more photogenic?
Question:
What do you do when you get sent an unreadable Word or PPT document?

All hail the cult of the mac ;-)
I use google docs, (wow I remembered not to call it writely!) for word but sometimes even that screws with the formatting. Neo Office opens ppts but it's slow to load & clunky.

Not been an issue, because I have Microsoft Office on my Macs.
Pages and Keynote also handle most things you throw at them.

If I didn't have Word, or iWork, I'd try NeoOffice.

I take back what I said about NeoOffice being clunky. I just downloaded the latest version & it read and made editable a really tricky job application form :-) Saved me the price of Word for mac (nearly £100!)
