Despite Microsoft's track record on non-Microsoft technology, the out-of-the-box product is fully platform agnostic with both Firefox and Safari's browsers and an Apple computer. We recommend using Vista/Windows 7 as your client operating system, Internet Explorer 7/8 as your browser, Outlook 2010 as your e-mail, and Office 2010 as your word processer, spreadsheet, and presentation application with the SharePoint 2010 technology.
