Family FAQ

You asked:

To save money, how can I find out which software packages work on both my Mac and PC?

The Online Family answers:

Most popular software comes in versions for both Mac and PC but requires that you buy the version that works on your operating system. Go to a site like CNET to explore editor reviews of software, which usually include notes like which operating system the software is compatible with. Web-based programs are the best bet for using on both your Mac and PC. Also, read the product packaging carefully, and look for the Windows and/or Mac logo.
