Kiss MS Office good bye
Written by MN from Marina Del Rey
Jan 28, 2009
I have had to endure using MS Office because it is what the rest of my PC coworkers use. iWork 09 mad such dramatic improvements in ease of use and the presentation of finished documents, I'll take the slight draw back of having to convert file back and forth. iWork 09 does a good job of reading and writing MS Office files, there are only minor issues that take less than 10 min to fix. As my IT guy said he wishes iWork was for windows then he would switch the whole company to iWork. …More

iWork Family Pack
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 product, 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. …More

excellent upgrade
Written by AM from Brookline
Jan 12, 2009
I've just installed iWork '09.
The EndNote and Mathtype compatibility in Pages are big deal for me. They both work great, and are 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.

Worth it just for Keynote & Pages
Written by RE from Wilson
Sep 16, 2009
iWorks is worth the price just for Keynote and Pages. Why?
Keynote vs. Powerpoint. Keynote is easier, faster to create shows, has more animation ability, is integrated with iPhoto & iMovie so placing pictures and video in a presentation is click & drag easy, is less expensive, has easy and powerful export tools.
Pages vs. Word. I use Pages to replace InDesign for brochures and book layout. My publisher wants a PDF so the ability to do layout with Pages in a simple and fast way is great. I save hours using Pages and don't have to look to Help files because it is so intuitive.
Numbers vs Excel. Excel wins. Numbers is easy to use but Excel is more powerful. If you want to do simple math and graphs and place them in a report, use Numbers and Pages. …More50 of 51 people found this useful

Can PC users open my iwork documents?
- Asked by JN from london

Best Answer
not in a literal sense, because of it saving in a iWork file such as .pages or .numbers, which PCs just dont like. HOWEVER you can export it as a word document or excel file by going to file>export and then choosing what you want a copy of it as, the only downside to this is you may loose some of the fonts and formats as they are not on PC's word processors or whatever program …More
