If you're married to those products then likely OS X isn't the right  
choice. Outlook and Office aren't an issue on the Mac. MS Project  
doesn't exist and would need to be run inside a VM. VMs are great but  
for an application you work frequently in they do add an extra layer  
of crap to deal with.

Yes, you would need OS X binaries to install. You couldn't install the  
Windows versions unless you decided to use a VM on OS X.
