Customer reviews for 'Apple iWork '08 Family Pack [OLD VERSION]'
«Huge improvement over iWork 06»
I use iWork quite a bit and didn't really take iWork 06 seriously due to severe limitations but when iWork 08 came out, I've become so accustomed to using it, I actually hate having to run anything Microsoft.
One thing I did notice is that Numbers is a fair spreadsheet tool if you're only using it for personal reasons or if you're not interacting with anyone else using Excel. Many of the formulas and formats I use in Excel don't work with Numbers.
One other note, the formatting in Keynote doesn't always play nice with Microsoft PowerPoint. When exporting to PowerPoint, I have to open PowerPoint in VMware's Fusion and edit it before I can send it along to my coworkers who are running Windows.
Aside from that, iWork 08 is awesome and because I have several Mac's at home and work, I buy the Family pack to keep everything under license.
Even though I've got some complaints with the interoperability between Apple and Microsoft, I still rate iWork with 5-stars for innovation, ease of use, function and presentation - Apple just gets it!

«Excellent suite of applications.»
Keynote and Pages are very good applications that will need some minor tweaks in the future.
Numbers definitely needs more functions built-in (those that are currently standard in Excel). No five star rating until this is fixed. For most users though, this program will perform fine.

«If you can go the extra mile it is well worth the trouble»
This program is very intuitive and will not take that long to get use to. It has many features which are very handy especially in the area of document creation and inserting images and especially in the ease of formatting each document. It seems like it takes 3 less steps to achieve things with iWorks than it does with Office. However, Pages is the one program that I think is better than Word, Numbers and Keynote have great integration with pages, but still are not as good as Excel or Powerpoint.
