To me there all a much of a muchness.Its good enuff for me to do my basic world stuff pluss being that every office in Australia works on world Neo was better then iWorks . I did not see the point of buying MS Office or iWork's for $80 (or what ever they cost) when Neooffice is all I need, and considering apple dont includ the basic world app's any more, apart from TXT edit( dont know why) I was not going to spend even more money on my very nice, but exstreamly over priced MacBook and Tiger system's.
For some resson, we here in Oz pay far more for our Mac's then you Guys any where eales around the world.Drives me crazzy.
I just got iWork '08 to see what it was all about. Keynote and Numbers are pretty cool, and so is Pages..but...it seems like more of the same.
The only thing I don't like about pages is the lack of notebook view. In MS Word, you can trigger the notebook view, and use your mouse to "scribble" on the page for notes. EXTREMELY valuable to me when I take notes in class.
geeez, i didnt even know word could do that, thats cool
