[QUOTE="fyreous, post: 698444, member: 42926"] Well, I'm probably in a minority here, but having used both, I'd highly recommend iWork 08 instead. Sure, Office has some cool functionality and definitely some more precision features.... but my number one gripe with Office 2008 was how freaking slow it loads, even on a blazing fast brand new iMac or MBP. Since I need Office for work on occasion, I still keep it installed... but I went back to Office 2004. In my opinion, it's at least a bit quicker than 2008; though it won't like to read the newer XML document format. But for everyday stuff, iWork is excellent. It's quick, simple, easy to do all the basics. And Numbers kicks the crap out of Excel for all but the most complex spreadsheet scenarios. [/QUOTE]
