It's fine for business use if you're typing documents in Word all day, but then again, why use Office 2008 for Mac when 2007 on the PC is superior in every way.

Snow Leopard brings Exchange support which is welcomed. But until they make Outlook that fully supports all of Exchange's features, it's just not practical. Entourage doesn't cut it.
I didn't see any specific problems... I think virtualization is pretty practical since its running windows program in coherence mode and ends up being better than if you were to just run it in windows, but if you could share some specific things lacking. I hear people say this all the time, but other than running specific programs what else is there?
