WOW iWorks well... WORKS
Written by JS from Yadkinville
Apr 22, 2009
I bought this after seeing it at my local best buy. As an Office 2007, 2003, and Office XP user, the organic feel is very welcome.…Read more I initially thought that this would be less than Office, boy was I wrong. I haven't had any experience with iWork ever, and I now I am a natural with it, not even a week after I got it. Of course, this can be expected because it comes from the best computer company ever. Thanks Apple. I must confess that I bought it off ebay but saved thirty bucks. Definitely worth every penny iPaid for it. HAHAHAHA

No autosave feature
Written by JG from Fort Collins
Apr 19, 2009
Be warned. iWork does not have an autosave feature so if you do not save often, when it crashes (yes it does crash) you will lose…Read more all of your work. This can be especially devistating if you are used to working with software that will autosave and you are not aware of this limitation. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

Use trial version first
Written by TH from Wichita
Apr 17, 2009
I bought IWork 09 with a new Mac I was the only one in my office trying to use this program. I loved the ease of typing and printi…Read moreng reports in Pages but fought the program when sharing files with co-workers. I was disappointed with Numbers, as the spreadsheets I put together were quite different when opened on MS Excel. My boss was not pleased either. Needless to say I am out the 49.99 pre-installed price of I-Work for a program I cant use in the office. If I were a student using it to type and print reports I think it would be great, but not for what I do in an office dominated by MS. If you work in an office with MS save yourself and your co-workers the trouble and buy MS Office.

The official MS Office Killer
Written by GO from Livermore
Jan 7, 2009
iWork 09 is now my official one stop work and presentation shop. iWork 08 was pretty close but Numbers from 08 lacked the ability …Read moreto do any sort of trend lines which has been rectified in iWork 09. The added templates in pages are also a breath of fresh air as well as the enhanced 3D animations in Keynote. There are a ton of other nice refinements that have been made to iWork for its latest addition and it would take me forever to talk about them all. I guess the main point is if you have been looking for something to completely replace MS Office it now exists and for a price that blows me away. I would like to thank the development team at apple for really listening to there user community.

Could be better
Written by SB from North Las Vegas
Jan 9, 2009
--It's good to see Apple doing what MS never could do right. From the beginning, MS products have been riddled with crashes and qu…Read moreirky output whereas these three Apple products work quite well. I highly recommend the 30 day trial version if you've never used these before.
--Pages goes beyond MS Word in that it's more of a competent page layout program (like Adobe's PageMaker or FrameMaker) than a simple word processor. MS Word is better at some things, but Pages is more powerful and stable than the MS product. Word just cannot make a big document without stumbling, often losing data in the process. But Pages can handle the big jobs with flare!
--Numbers does a better job at many things than Excel does (mostly with charts and graphs) but has a distinct drawback for those who want to label narrow columns with vertical text... it can't rotate text like Excel. I found Numbers to be a little odd in the way it does things (I've been using Excel for over two decades, so that may have something to do with it) but if it rotated text I'd learn to get over the differences and drop Excel.
--Keynote is better than the Mac version of PP, but the XP version of PP can stand up pretty well to Keynote. Still, I prefer the Mac OS to Windose so PP is no longer used.
--Overall, I like all three and the price cannot be beat, but I would have really appreciated rotatable text in this version of Numbers. Heck, if the dweebs at MS can do it, so should the geniuses at Apple.(848 of 955 people found this review useful)

Well Put Together

Jan 7, 2009
Although some features don't get much of an upgrade over iWork '08, the new version of iWork is well worth the upgrade! It featur…Read morees a host of features that were missing in previous versions, as well as many new themes and better integration for Microsoft Office files. As an added bonus, it loads a lot faster than previous versions of iWork and has so far been very stable. I would give this product 6 stars if it were possible, so, go and buy it (or download the 30 day free trial and give it a test run).
