are they allowed to use computers to email their families and friends?

hello, my windows computer has just died, “UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME” and i have no windows xp disc, so that computer is screwed, now.
i am looking in buying a MAC. however i need to know a few things:
1) is there an equivalent software to microsoft office? and can they open files like .ppt, .pub and .doc?
2) can a MAC run windows software? (specificly Finale PrintMusic and Olympus Master2) or do i need to use a windows emulator, like i do in linux’s “wine” program?
3) which is the best MAC to get? Macbook? MAC MINI? i just need a nice home computer.
4) will i be able to retrieve my itunes shopping account?
5) is there equivalent softwares of Windows Live Messenger, GIMP, Windows Movie Maker and Realplayer?
6) Is the command prompt easy to access and are the commands similar to linux or windows?
7) Will EPSON Printing and scanning software work? How easy / hard is it to install new programs and what is the method?
9) lastly, whats the price range for a good, but not amazingly fancy MAC? ( £ )
thankyou, i know theres alot of questions.
thankyou for the answers so far. but just to clarify a £ is GBP, British Pounds and pennies.etc

I can connect to the internet OK & can access any sites, but when i minimize, the yahoo browser stays there & I can find no way to remove it.

i downloaded and burned the ubuntu installer for 9.10 onto a CD. however, when i put it in my cd drive and booted up my computer, my computer would automatically boot up windows vista (which i already have installed). im using a standard user account on my computer (for Vista) but would that affect the install on boot of the CD? do i need to reburn the download? how do i get the ubuntu CD to install upon booting my computer? thank you for any help.
i tried changing the boot order…still no luck.
i chose the write file to disk option after choosing the data cd option (using expressburn)…maybe i need to rewrite the disk

Basically, I can boot from USB, so it is an option, but I have tried cracking the Vista SAM files afew times, I think they must be patched, the cracks I have tried haven’t worked, even obtaining the hashes and using Rainbow tables didn’t work. Is there any way I can get Admin rights, also, I cant run net use commands from my environment in windows because the Administrators where I am have changed the policies.
Thanks
Chris
I am trying to obtain administrative rights in Windows Vista, I have used every method I know and none of them have worked, including the linux boots to crack the SAM file. I need another way!
Anyone help? Thanks
