[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1525794, member: 46727"] Compatibility is the big issue. Whether you or other iWork pundits like it or not, Office is the de facto standard at universities and businesses. I have used Pages a number of times and it just doesn't "hack" it. Also your assumption of the "fraction of the price" is overstated. MS Office 2011 student and home version can be purchased for around $90.00 on the web, whereas the iWork apps are $19.99 each and never discounted. $60 compared to $90 is not even close to being a fraction; well OK, a large fraction. ;) [/QUOTE]
