1) Microsoft Project
2) Microsoft Visio

Generally, however, I've been happy with almost all the Mac variants of popular Windows applications. The one exception is the lack of what I consider to be a quality, easy to use Usenet Newsreader application on the Mac. I was a Forte Agent and then later NewsLeecher user for years on the PC. Unison is the best newsreader I've found on the Mac and while it handles downloads of binaries just fine, it sucks as a true-blue newsgroup discussion tool.

I hear ya... fortunately, I have the Windows versions of what I need still working fine on my HP Vista laptop, so no need to rush to move over yet. That's even more true as the big ones (Adobe Photoshop CS2, etc.) are an expensive proposition, and some don't exist (like Project and Visio.) So I will keep one device for each world for the time being. The fun part will be doing my iPhone syncs in both worlds.

Try http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php. I find it a suitable replacement for Microsoft and it's free...

Unfortunately, I have to run Windows, because my office schedule and hospital computers can only be accessed through Windows, otherwise I wouldn't, I swear!

I like Parallels, because I can run Windows without leaving the Mac (like have to restart with Boot Camp, but it's HELL to configure, but then, isn't it always the case withWindows? Once it's running, it's pretty flawless.

I know that feeling, as I work in IT for a large healthcare system. We only support Windows desktops, although we have a lot of IT users with Macs and more and more doctors buying Macs. Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes!

I have quite a list as well. My dock is only about half of my Applications folder, so.

Finder
Dashboard
Mail
Safari
Address Book
iCal
Spaces
iTunes
iPhoto
AppleWorks
iDVD
Terminal
GarageBand
System Preferences
QuickTime
AppDelete
Preview
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
Lock Desktop
Keychain
wavepad
Time Machine
Automator
Permanent Eraser
IceClean
Activity Monitor
LoginWindow Manager
sshfs
Stuffit Expander
Disk Utility
Console
iToner
Copernicus
Bonjour Browser
Cyberduck
iChat
Keynote
PhotoBooth
Pages

It's a rather small dock.

What? I skipped all the Microsoft Apps? No! They do not exist on my Mac! AppleWorks and Pages for document processing, and Keynote for presentations.
