"It's a great progam, but transitioning over may take a little time"
Great product for basic users ... easy to use, but may take a little time to get used to if you're used to using Word or Excel. Keynote is WAY better for slide shows than the microsoft version!

"iWork Family Pack GREAT VALUE!!!"
iWork is a great addition to my work programs. The compatibility with Word is a great feature when transferring files to PC users. The online tutorials from Apple get you up and running in no time and answer all of your questions.Apple iWork '08 Family Pack

"iwork"
iWork is a great piece of software. It has lots of forms in the word processor. I like Mac computers because of their ease of use, and again iWork is an example of Apple's quality for the price.

"Think Different! Escape your Office!"
For most users, MicroSoft Office is overkill. They're talked into using by people that tell them that HAVE to run it to be compatible with the rest of the Office world. Not necessarily! Unless you're an Office Power User that needs and uses the extreme features of Office, iWork will do everything you need it to, and still be compatible with your Office workmates.

It's much faster on the Mac than Office, MUCH cheaper, and much more reliable. I write semi-professionally, and have never had any problems with using iWork, or had any problems with being compatible to my Office users.

You can download a free trial of iWork to see if it's what you need before purchasing. Granted, it will not work for all, and there is a small learning curve that is required with all new software applications. But, if you are willing to give it a try, you may find that there is life after Office and you can save that money for something else!

"Solid Product"
iWork has been improved greatly. While the spreadsheet module is not going to knock Excel out of the box, it is a good solid program. The real gems are Pages and Keynote. Pages has been improved nicely and I feel is a lot easier to use than Word when it comes to doing things like newsletters and other items with graphics. Anyone wanting a nice easy program for doing a newsletter should consider this bundle for that alone. What can I say about Keynote other than it is better than Powerpoint on many fronts. If you want the best presentation program on the market, get keynote along with a very value packed bundle in iWork.
