[QUOTE="JuanGuapo, post: 847329, member: 32212"] I have iWork '09 and Office '08. I use Pages and Numbers maybe 90% of the time, and Word '08 when I need it every so often. Office '08 isn't a bad product and has a LOT of functions/features, but it really is designed for someone who has used Office in the past and knows how to utilize it. If you're an MS Office veteran, you'll have zero problems working in and around Office '08. However, if you're somewhat of a novice with Word, you'll have a lot easier time w/ iWork (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). In my humble opinion, I probably wouldn't have bought Office '08 last year if iWork '09 had already been out; the '09 version is that much better than the '08 version (and I've had every version since '05). Office '08 is a really good office suite, but I think iWork '09 gives you a lot better value than the $129 Home/Student Edition, or $299 Standard Edition. [/QUOTE]
