 Numbers is NO Excel!!, 2008-06-17
I have been a Mac user since 1985 but for the last 10 years, I've used Excel for all my work spreadsheets. When I heard that "Numbers" was "just like Excel but better," I happily bought iWork thinking I'd convert all my boring Excel spreadsheets into these colorful, attractive presentations.
I was disappointed to learn that you cannot "freeze panes" in Numbers (an Excel MUST), you cannot TOTAL up several rows like in Excel unless you manually create a formula and drag it around (Excel does it automatically) and lots of little things are missing as far as Sum, formulas, etc.
I created some letters in Pages but could not email them because my email system does not recognize the document format (and the people receiving them were on Macs so they couldn't have opened them anyway!).
Beware - Numbers is NO Excel... :(
If you use a Mac, can you do better than MS Office?, 2008-06-11
You can. This iWork '08 software can do most of what Office does, is simpler to use, and is far more stable (no crashes, system lock-ups or spinning beach balls). It also opens Office documents, and can optionally save its own documents in the standard Office formats, so that you can share them with others using the Wintel platform. Recommended.
Makes me happy! , 2008-06-09
I am not fond of rating 5 stars just because you never know, however...I have been a windows user all my life. I just switched to mac and found myself lost. Do I use a program like fusion? Well, that wasn't going to work because I would still need to purchase windows since it came with my computer I won't be able to use the same software. Plan B...Microsoft Office for Mac...uh uh, there was no trial period and I refuse to pay 100+ dollars on an item I don't know I would be pleased with. Well, iWork had the trial. I loved the templates. Looks better then stuff I've seen on office and it is easy to use too. As far as those who don't have macs I save it in a PDF format and problem is solved. I just wished I would've bought the family package because this house is going to switch out to MAC!!! Long story short...I recommend it!

 Great New Updates!, 2008-06-02
I have used the iWork Suite since it was first released. iWork 08' adds Numbers which is comparable to Microsoft's Excel. The other two apps called Pages and Keynote are equivalents to Word and Powerpoint respectively. I use these even though I have Microsoft Office 2008. These are just easier and faster for me to use. I still open office docs sent to me in Office, but otherwise I create docs on Pages. If your an Apple fan you can't go wrong here. If your a business user you will probably want this and Office 2008. iWork 08 is not a complete Office replacement yet, especially if you need to send Office compatible docs to Windows users.
Great product, 2008-05-16
Easy to use full function word processor. Haven't used the other programs. Pages is compatible with Word.
