You won't need it. It's a P.O.P.

Try this if you need your confidence bolstering slightly though:

Also, there's usually some demos of OS X somewhere on the apple site.

Installing office will be a succession of one or two option box

probably launch automatically at first boot, and the VPN can be set up
from Internet Connect or System Preferences.
