I'm getting the new iMac when it comes out in December, and I'm going to install Office 2011 for it. However, reviews say it looks blurry on retina display. Should I get iWork's instead?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
The new iMacs do not have a retina display.
No, this area seems to be in between - so far, reports are for the southern Oregon coast...hmmm, wait a minute - checking the latest: I guess we've been taken off the list, it is now Hawaii
PS Thanks for checking!
7.7 is a pretty good shaker, glad things aren't worse for all concerned.
Seems like both Apple and Windows are grooming their systems for the casual, non-technical user, making their platforms just an extension of the tablets and phones instead of going the other way and allowing users to expand their intellect and creatively use the tools without their coddling and control. 😀
Yes, fortunately (your first paragraph) and unfortunately (your second para).....
expand their intellect and creatively use the tools
You need intellect and creativity????? I'm sure there's an app for that......

Try to view computers going forward as an appliance, similar to a television or washing machine. It won't be long before computers will be like the iPhone. Only software purchased from the App Store will work. In a couple of years they'll be deleting posts describing how to jailbreak your Macintosh.
Actually, might be no bad thing. It will open a gap in the market for real computers.
Just looked at the MacMini and I think as hardware goes it may very well be my next purchase. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, the Pansaonic 50" may be getting an upgrade 😁
*UPDATE* just learned new iMac has a "bulge" in the back to make room for the "guts". This is probably where the hard drive is, as well as inputs.
Do you have a link to a picture/website?
Sorry, no. Word of mouth. If you've heard of Leo the tech guy (radio show host) he got to see exclusive photos and talked about it today.
Thanks for the link - a bit difficult to see, but there is a bulge (appears to be a gentle one though, not too pronounced, but it was a bit dark).
This image of the new 27" iMac at: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac (click Gallery),
has a good 'profile' image:
Aside from any other reservations I have about them, that seems kinda cool looking - at least on "paper"...

I hope that Apple's new Fusion Drive works as good, or better than it says on paper.
I have ordered the new mac mini with Fusion Drive.
Do report your impressions on the fusion drive if you have time!
Does the new iMac have retina display?
