Rating: - the same but cheaper
I bought Iwork 08 from amazon and was cheaper than mac store and it was exactly the same product.
That was good for me.
Rating: - functions not as much, but it's so pretty!
if you have a mac, this one works fantastic, much better than Microsoft office on mac... but if you have a pc, you'll be much better off with office 2007... functions wise definitely prefer the office...
they also packed it in a much bigger box than it needed to be, thus increasing my shipping cost... nothing to do with the product, but still a gripe...
Rating: - satisfied
Haven't had a chance to use all the applications on iWork but so far I'm very happy with the program.
Rating: - As good as Office
This productivity suite is as good and a lot cheaper than office. I can do everything I need to do with relative ease. I have mostly written research papers with this software, but any bumps in the road have been easily worked out. I thought that I would have compatibility issues with documents that I turn in for school. Pages exports documents in a variety of formats including .doc. Overall I am pleased with this product.
