Excel - Mac vs PC

I got Office 2011. It is an improvement over previous versions but it still seems a bit slow. Excel now has VBA and appears to be at the same level as windows excel.
But, if you are an excel jock I would recommend keeping a windows partition and doing your work on that, just because the mac version is a little different than the pc version. If you are only a casual user of excel then I don’t see any problem with it.
 
I have a Macbook Pro running bootcamp. Basically anything in Excel and Word I use Windows for. Everything else is done under OSX. And yes, when you install a new partition of bootcamp, it’s exactly the same as a Windows interface. Keyboard shortcuts are the same. The function keys (F1, F2, etc) can be remapped through a setting in the Bootcamp settings.
Also a previous poster mentioned that he/she needs to go into OSX, then select Bootcamp to load (essentially starting up the computer 2 times). This is the wrong way to do it. You hold Alt on startup, and then you can select directly which partition to load. There is another option in OSX itself where you can select Windows as the default partition so that at each startup, you will automatically go into Windows.
