<p>When you mention Mac versions of software, I assume you’re referring to the more the popular or common programs that are available on both Windows and Mac platforms. For popular software like Microsoft Office, I saw it for $149 in a Mac version and $144 in a Windows version----both the student edition. This would be from an online vendor like Academic Superstore that discounts software to students.</p>
