Written by EK from Arlington
Apr 3, 2009
4 more licenses for twenty dollars? Of course that makes for a good deal.
This a new version made brought Pages and Numbers clos…Read moreer to the level of Keynote and added some features like iWork.com that liftedall of iWork over MS Office.
Pages (more templates, more solid, better conversions)
- export as PDF is invaluable for sending secure offer letters, statements, etc
- blank pages are great when you don't need any special format
- the templates allow for professional last-minute jobs
- the number word to pages conversion issue is fonts. Add the font and the issue is resolved.
Numbers
- The multiple spreadsheets on a page is excellent for data integrity and quickly drag/drop addition to an front page spreadsheet.
- is able to do all the math that i have been able to through at it from every aspect of capital accumulation with forecasted vs. actual comparisons
Keynote
- the templates are great and more is better
- this replaced powerpoint for me in Baghdad and got more attention for my embassy briefings ( i know since people asked me who I had preparing my presentations)
The '09 version
- iwork.com THIS IS WHY YOU NEED THE '09 version
- I use this for peer reviews of contact reports
- I use this to get feedback from mentors and SMEs on articles I am writing
- I use this for near real-time presentation and discussion in iChat video conferences
This product has enabled me to operate completely with out MS Office in the DoD/DoS sector. I recommend Bento2(over access) to round out a complete MS Office suite substitute.(7 of 9 people found this review useful)

As my IT guy said he wishes iWork was for windows then he would switch the whole company to iWork.

Mostly impressed
Written by CC from Ottawa
Jan 9, 2009
I think that Apple has a very good suit of productivity tools considering the price that it is being sold for. If you compare the …Read moreproduct, keynote is definitely the best presentation tool avaible in the market because it has many features and uses very powerfull animation options. Page has greatly improved from the 08 version and is now much more focused on being a good word processor. Howerver, their is still a lot of room for improvement. One feature that would be nice would be if it were possible to see how different fonts or colors would change the appearence of the text befor making the actual changes. Finally, numbers has had the most improvement from the three applications especially because of the new formulas that have been added. Howerver, Excel is still much farther ahead.

I've just installed iWork '09.
The EndNote and Mathtype compatibility in Pages are big deal for me. They both work great, and are…Read more great new features. The iPhone control of Keynote presentation is also a nice addition to a software that is already much more powerful than PPT! New transitions are nice.
In short, recommended.
