Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Did you know that 77% of all mac users still use Microsoft office?I am one of them.I have been trying to find something that will take me away from the grips of using MS products on a MAC.(I am a cross platform type of person...so MS on a PC is the BEST!but on a Mac, I beg to differ).iWork is a great package that does what it does for a low cost and for people with all skill levels.
I am sure you all know what is in iWork...so I will tell you my thoughts.
Pages - Great beginners/advanced word processor - it is not a MS Word replacement but it is a great word processor for Mac's
Numbers - Great beginners/advanced spreadsheet program.Very easy to use and comprehensive.Dont expect it to do complex formulas and or equations...Again...not a replacement for Excel.
Keynote - Here is where iWork shines.It is a great powerpoint type program to create slides for presentations.It works GREAT on a MAC.Presentations made easy, and efficiently.There is now an iPhone application that will actually allow you to control your slideshow from your phone while you are on a stage or in front of people....very impressive stuff...I am sure with time it will only get better.
Now for the newest feature of the iWork 2009 suite.iWork.com.When you purchase this software you are instantly given access to a web based sharing platform.To put it simply...you create a document that you want your assistant/family member to see and give you advice on....simply tell pages to publish it online in a secure fashion and email the link to the other person...and yourself.Both of you can now look at, discuss, and make notes on the document all via a web browser.
Awesome stuff....I can go into a lot of detail..but I am sure a review is not the best place for it.Apple does plan on charging for this service in the future...but I am not sure of the details.
Please note that as of this version, serial numbers are not used when purchased in a retail box.You simply install it on up to 5 machines (with the family pack).
Thanks.
