Can I use 2011 MS Office for Mac in wall street prep modeling?

I want to make sure before I sign up.

I've already taken financial and managerial accounting. Do I need to brush up on anything else before starting WSP?

Thanks

No, you'll get murdered. You need a PC - all the shortcuts are different, the interface is different, and you won't be able to install their macros.

I love my Mac (typing this on it), but for excel modeling, it has to be Windows - especially if you're trying to follow along in a class.

Damn.. I just bought ms office for $100.

What are my options?

I want to keep my Mac OS.. Can I download Windows but switch between OSs? And does this mean I have to buy MS for windows?
