Macs work fine here! It's best if you're running the latest version of 10.5, but lesser versions should still be OK.

You'll want either the Mac version of MS Office with Powerpoint, or the Windows version running under Parallels or Fusion. I haven't tried viewing any of the materials with Keynote, though it may work fine. (Has anyone else tried this yet?)

For what it's worth, I manage the entire IT infrastructure here, including the phone system, with a Macbook Pro. I use VMWare Fusion for the very few Windows applications that I need, and I've never had to use Boot Camp.

You can view the powerpoints in keynote just fine. The only problem you might find is some of the fonts might be different. I think you can download the fonts if its that big of a deal for you. I like using Keynote much better than Powerpoint for macs.

It's the only worthwhile app in iWork, but boy is it worth it. It blows PP away.
