Abstract: Claris, now theres a name from the past. Apple used to develop Claris branded software for its machines and Macs would invariably come with a basic suite of office tools Times have changed and Apple now prefers to brand everything "i" so its iWork an...

Abstract: With its 08 release, Apple's iWork has finally grown up into a fully-fledged suite. For the bargain basement price of $109 you'll get Pages, a word-processor/page layout application, and Keynote, which is like PowerPoint but with more – and increasingly c...
Apple iWork 08s three applications have excellent comment and mark-up support; the ability to open documents saved in the native Open XML format used by Office 2007 for Windows; Page Layout mode gives consumers much of the capability of professional ...
We would have preferred to see Apple include some layout-only, contentless templates for Numbers and Pages in Apple iWork 08; clumsy way of creating a layout in Word Processing mode that you can make in Page Layout The Final Word Users comfortable wit...
Users comfortable with Microsoft Office may find it takes time to get used to Apple iWork 08. Advanced Word and Excel users, especially those who rely on specialised features and functions, will probably find Apple Pages 08 and Apple Numbers 08 to b...
Good value for money, easy to use, genuinely useful templates, imports and exports to Word/Excel/PowerPoint, integrates nicely with OS X
Pages and Numbers lack some of the high-end features of Word and Excel, can’t export Open XML documents Min specs: 500MHz G4 or later, 512MB RAM, 1GB disk space, OS X 10.4.10
For £55, it’s hard to fault iWork ’08. Keynote thrashed PowerPoint back in 2003, and it just keeps getting better, Pages isn’t a Word-killer, but it’s a good low- to mid-range word processing alternative. Numbers, however, may well...
Abstract: In the world of Windows, Microsofts mighty Office suite has few (if any) serious competitors. Things are very different for Mac users, with Apples iWork bundle presenting a delightfully different take on word processing, number-crunching and present...
If nothing else, and there is a great deal else, Apple gives its users a real bargain with iWork 08. While not as dazzling as its multimedia cousin, this package of word processing/layout (Pages), and presentation (Keynote and Numbers) brings to work ...
Abstract: $79 (single-license); $99 (family pack) — shop for this item Several months later than expected, Apple has released the third edition of iWork, the Mac makers productivity software suite. Returning cast members include Keynote, the presentation prog...
Clean, easy-to-navigate interface; variety of file-export options, including PDF and Microsoft Office; integration with Apple iLife media software; nice selection of premade themes
Minor file-conversion issues with Microsoft Office; no mail/scheduling program; cannot save as Office file natively (must export); no support for saving to Open XML
For Mac users who want the core functions of an office suite without the unnecessary baggage—or high price—iWork 08 is simple, elegant, and easy to use. ...
For around £50 (£15 more than in the US, by the way), you get an exceptional integrated suite for those who don't need the power nor the price of Microsoft Office. With Microsoft's new Mac Office not due until next year, there's a good window for iWork '0...
De enkla men kraftfulla programmen, god valuta för pengarna
Inget databasprogram
Mac-användare som behöver en uppsättning kraftfulla kontorsprogram, men som inte är beredda att betala det avsevärt mycket högre priset för Microsoft Office ...
