Note that "PC" stands for "personal computer". Does your professor require a Windows machine? If so, why? MS Office has identical file types on mac and windows so there is no way he/she would even be able to tell what type of computer you were using.
Yes, they both specifically request Windows boxes for Excel and Access. Otherwise, I'd be using Ubuntu
You should have mentioned Access earlier. If that is required, then so is Windows. Access is not available in the Mac version of Office.
