iWork 08 Better Than MS Office 08?
Is iWorks Pages, Numbers and Keynote better than MS Office Word, Excel and Powerpoint? I'm just curious because MS Office is awsome but iWork looks amazing. Discuss here...

Both have their Pros and Cons. I personally have upgraded to Office 08 because it can read all the pesky new Office formats.

iWork '08 can read .docx.
I personally prefer iWork '08, far clearer, faster and superior product.

Sorry, I am just being a grumpy bum, just woke up and am a little tired of seeing new threads about this.
No-one has come up with a definitive answer - it is all personal preference or determined by your needs.
Please don't be upset by my grumpy-bumness.

Other threads aside, it doesn't hurt to run the odd spot poll.
I happen to love iWork (I'd like to have Numbers' babies it's so awesome!) That said, there's still a crying need for a decent, simple (keyword here, keyword) database app in both Oriface and iBludge (my pet name for it, it makes what I do so easy it can't be called work  )
