[QUOTE="schweb, post: 73658, member: 59"] Well I just got iWorks yesterday. I'll go into more detail later but here's my initial impression. I have both iWorks '05 and MS Office 2004. Pages is no "Word Killer" in any way shape for form. Pages is a very cool app, don't get me wrong. But as for a fully featured word processor, it just doesn't hold water. Pages is more like a lightweight version of MS Publisher. So it's a little bit more versatile in pages setup, etc than Word but it doesn't nearly have as many features or formatting options as a regular, full featured word processor does. I haven't tested the Pages to Word or Word to Pages importing yet. So overall, I think Pages is fine in a casual, home environment or maybe even very small business. But honestly, I think that's what iWork's market is anyway. For a business, school, or any other setting heavily using MS Office, stick with Office. [/QUOTE]
