i wanna get this macbook, but while looking through that page of, what i guess you can call "extras", i wasnt clear if the laptop already came with microsoft word or if that was part of iWork?
also, if anybody has this macbook, can you tell me about it? do you like it? does it cause any problems? and if i already have a wireless internet thing i wont need to get one especially for the mac, right?
thanks!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
You can buy Microsoft Office For Mac which has MSWORD in it. It's not cheap though. The machine won't come with it or any other word processing software for free (I base this on my own purchase.) I had to choose which to buy.
If you are looking to save money I would get the current version of IWORK. It has a program in it called PAGES. It allows you to create all the same documents as MSWORD.
When you are finished you click EXPORT and can then save them as MSWORD files as well as e-mail them in MSWORD file attachments. It converts it all. It's better than MSWORD in my opinion and far less expensive around $100.00
Are you near an Apple Store? check www.apple.com to see if you are. You should visit one and ask someone the difference between IWORK and MSWORD and weigh your options. They aren't on commission either. People at BEST BUY etc. etc. are often bloody clueless about Apple Mac Books or IMACs and will sell you anything for a commission. They often sell older and refurbished versions instead of what you get new at Apple stores or by buying at www.apple.com
You can't go wrong with a new Mac Book. Let me know when you get yours and if you need any help learning programs. Hit my inbox up. I hope this helps you.
If all you really want to do is create documents, write and do all your reports for classes IWORK is best. However, if you need Power Point and EXCEL you won't have that as part of IWORK unless their new version for 2009 has it.

The laptop doesn't come with Microsoft Word because Macbooks are part of the Apple brand. Apple and Microsoft are very different companies. iWork is like the Microsoft Office, but on an Apple computer.
From that website:
