Yes, because Hotmail runs in a web browser. You can just log into your account with Safari, Chrome or Firefox.

As of Boot Camp 4.0, Windows XP is no longer supported. All new Mac's ship with Mountain Lion and therefore have the latest version of Boot Camp installed.
You can still use third party software such as "Parallels Desktop" to create a virtual machine within OSX and then install Windows XP there, but if you wan't to install Windows through Boot Camp you will need to purchase Windows 7.

Yes of-course you can use apples magic mouse or even any wireless mouse. you can simply pair the mouse and mbp with the help of Bluetooth. Wired mouses are a kinda too old.

I have a fear of computer viruses and spyware, which is one of the main reasons why I went to Mac.
1. Macs don't get most of those viruses PCs do. There is a MacroVirus which is a virus that eats Microsoft Office files, but that is the most popular, and it is VERY RARE.
2. Apple has built in defenses to keep you protected.

If you want to be more protected, I'd go for an Anti-Virus software, just to be safe.

Like I said, Virus on Mac is Super Rare.

Hi, CN.

This is Apple so there is no Word or Powerpoint per se as these are Microsoft programs. You have two options:

(1) Use the Apple equivalents - Pages and Keynote. (Numbers is the equivalent of Excel)

(2) Install Office for Mac onto your Mac (separate software) to run applications like Word on the Mac natively.

There is a third option, using free programs like Open Office. But I am not too familiar with it, although there is supposed to be a great support page in this site for users of OO.

If portability if your key concern, the Air will be your best bet. (Just watch the price.)

Apple products are not susceptible to PC viruses. If there are viruses, Apple will send you updates ASAP when needed.

Not sure what software you had in mind for the "great science program". Maybe you could try browsing through the Mac App Store - with thousands of apps, you just might find one there for your specific needs.

Macs automatically "looks" for wi-fi connections wherever you are.

My iPad has a Skype app so I don't see why a Mac can't have it also.

Photos and music (and using them in creative ways) is one of Apple's strongest points.

Hope this helps,
Joey

Yes all iMacs come with Wi-Fi capability. You just need to setup an Internet connection and connect your iMac to it
