[QUOTE="PsYkOoOoO, post: 926942, member: 52176"] I use iWork '09 for Pages and Keynote. I do have Office 2004 installed on my Mac because I used that primarily before I switched to iWork. Office on Mac doesn't work very well in general, and it takes forever to launch. I find that formatting on Words to be a pain, which is why I switched to iWork in the first place. As someone has already mentioned, Keynote is the ONLY way to give a presentation. Every single time I plug my Macbook into the school's projector, I will invite a slew of questions as to how I made the slides. And as for Pages, it'd say that functionality wise it is as good as Words in terms of basic word processing needs. I'd say keep Office around if you do need it to open files that cannot be opened on iWork. Though, even docx and pptx can be opened with iWork, so I don't see the issue with compatibility for the most part. [/QUOTE]
