I agree. Viruses aren't really targeted for Macs, so don't put anti-virus on the machine, but use OpenDNS' phishing and adware filters like I do at home on all our machines (except the Boeing owned Laptop that connects to servers that don't have DNS entries) and on my iPod touch. But M$ Office doesn't ever belong on a mac. NeoOffice also shouldn't exist, OpenOffice.org 3.0 runs in Aqua now, with great performance. I thought the reason people bought macs was to not use M$'s shit. Then again, the school district probably already uses failchange (Exchange) for mail, so to use that email account you'll have to use M$ Office. Now if the district used a nice OS X Server for email, SpamAssasin from the Apache Project is already included and you can use just about any mail client, since it just uses IMAP and SMTP, which are industry standards. Thank you Apple for using open source software.
