 Excellent software September 6, 2007

It's great to see the update of Pages and Keynote. They both come with more functionality and with the same elegant style that comes with all of the Apple's software and hardware. I'm also elated to have Numbers 08 which I think is a very simple program to use, especially for people new to spreadsheet layout. These programs can only get better with time.
Almost Perfect!!! September 4, 2007

I bought the 06 version and loved it.
I downloaded the trial version for 08 to see if it is worth the new price, afterall, I bought the 06 just not so long ago (maybe less than 3 months).
The new Numbers and Pages are just wonderful. It is so much more intuitive than MS Office. I have the Office for Mac and I have been using Office in Windows for the past 10 years. But ever since I started using Pages and Keynote, and now Numbers, I have to say hands down, iWork 08 is near perfection for 99.9% of all office needs.
I wish there were even more templates for all three apps. But with the included templates, one could modify them to create new templates fairly easy and quick.
My trial period is coming to an end in a couple of weeks. I will buy the iWork 08 for sure.
 Pages is still useless. September 2, 2007

I recently downloaded the free trial of iWork 08, to see if Apple had managed to fix the Appleworks import crashing bug that has been present since the original release of iWork. They have not. In addition, they have discontinued support for Appleworks. If you're considering purchasing iWork with the idea of reading all your old Appleworks documents in this new post-Appleworks world, you will be sorely disappointed, as Pages bombs on importing about half the Appleworks documents I've tested with it. Appleworks 6, by contrast, opens them without complaint.
Better and Better than MS Office August 31, 2007

As with other Apple programs...it looks good and is more intuitive out of the blocks than M S. I use m s office all day at work and get tired using software that has a clunky user interface created by unimaginative nerds from the Apple commercials. MS programs by comparison are just a small step above DOS.
Come to think of it...why do people even use windows pc's anymore?
When I switch from my Mac to my PC, I sit and wait ...and wait...and wait...and then it freezes......and then I switch back to my Mac.
I do my Keynote presentations at home...export as Power Point..then load at work.
Very good but still lacking support of RTL languages August 26, 2007

It is an excellent little cheap office suite. Offers a quite good compatibility with MS Office and remains powerful enough for a lot of jobs, with an interface really more intuitive, simple and easy-to-use than OpenOffice.
But this 3rd version is still lacking of good support with RTL languages wich is a pitty since TextEdit and almost all Cocoa softwares support them quite well. Also it is a pity because it as better support of MS Word and better desktop publishing functions than Mellel.
