For the price, this office suite is a good choice for any Mac user. The family pack - for households like ours, where we have three macs - this is an obvious choice.

I'll not review Keynote - I abhor presentations and just avoid them like the plague. Nothing against the powerpoint (or in this case, Keynote) jockey - I just am not one and don't care for it. No, not even to open a presentation. I just don't.

Pages has advanced a lot as a word processor, and it is the most intuitive page layout system I've ever seem. In minutes you learn how to use text boxes, move them around, and add graphics to produce documents that look amazing. Pages is a ton better than neooffice's (free software) word processor and it holds its own to MS Word (that costs much more and has the usability and performance of a hog swimming in molasses). Apple provides a ton of useful templates, but I wish there was a community effort to produce more (there are some third parties selling templates).

Numbers is an interesting thing. It changes the idea of a spreadsheet by making the sheets independent of the printed page. You can have many independent or related sheets in the same page and arrange that in the most amazing layouts. My only complaint is the keyboard support - If you are entering a formula you will be required to use the mouse. For anyone that has used a spreadsheet application it is just natural to press the = sign and start moving around with the arrows to select cells. That simple, mindless act, is prevented in Numbers by the choice of having a formula editor that floats over the sheets.

I bought the 06 version and loved it.
I downloaded the trial version for 08 to see if it is worth the new price, afterall, I bought the 06 just not so long ago (maybe less than 3 months).
The new Numbers and Pages are just wonderful. It is so much more intuitive than MS Office. I have the Office for Mac and I have been using Office in Windows for the past 10 years. But ever since I started using Pages and Keynote, and now Numbers, I have to say hands down, iWork 08 is near perfection for 99.9% of all office needs.
I wish there were even more templates for all three apps. But with the included templates, one could modify them to create new templates fairly easy and quick.
My trial period is coming to an end in a couple of weeks. I will buy the iWork 08 for sure.

I didn't purchase this from Amazon, as I didn't want to wait that long. I went to an Apple Store instead.

This is an amazing product. Keynote, which is quite possibly the best application available on any platform has gotten even better. Pages finally added a much needed word processing mode, which means I can finally throw out Word.

The real shining jewel here, though, is Numbers. Numbers takes the concept of the spreadsheet and adds a sort of publishing spin to it. Instead of sheets of cells being the default paradigm, you have canvases with embedded blocks of cells, giving you amazing flexibility over the layout of the rest of the document.

Since many documents are more than just spreadsheets, this opens up a world of possibilities for documents that are heavy with tabular data but need flexible layout options.

The included templates give excellent examples of ways to use Numbers that should help you explore the possibilities.

That being said, I have found some things in regards to filtering and coloring items based on dates to be counterintuitive, and there are a couple of other minor quirks. But for a 1.0 product, Numbers is astounding.

I can't think of any way to improve on Pages and Keynote though. I'm giving the suite 4 stars because I can't give it 4 1/2. The next version of Numbers in another year or two should put this over the top. The price for a 5 user family pack is incredible. I bought it, even though there are only two users in our house. The price is significantly better than even two educational licenses.

I used iWork '05 and '06 since they came out, and let me tell you, the upgrade to '08 is startlingly packed. I started using iWork when it became clear that Apple intended to dump the long-suffering Appleworks that I had so enjoyed for years and years. It always seemed unfair that such a feature-packed piece of software was left to languish in the OS X era, so I was excited to see what Apple had to offer in the way or a replacement when the original iWork was released.

I was sorely disappointed. Where was the spreadsheet module? Where were the drawing and painting modules? Why was word processing so slow and clunky? Granted, Keynote was great, but Pages left a whole lot to be desired. From the beginning, it didn't really seem to know what it was. Was it supposed to be "lite" desktop publishing? Were you supposed to be able to use it for standard word processing?

The '08 version of Pages changes all of this; finally, Pages is a worthy competitor to Microsoft Word in addition to its now-formidable desktop publishing abilities. It borrows the best ideas from both the Mac version of Word as well as the Windows version, and it's gained a truckload of features, like change tracking (finally!), grammar checking, easy Wikipedia lookups, a super-useful context-sensitive formatting bar, and what feels like a five-fold increase in performance.

Granted, Word has plenty of features that Pages lacks. But for that matter, Pages is full of things that Word goes without, like easy integration with iPhoto, the context-sensitive formatting bar, and the high price point. The basic point is that Pages is a stable, mature, full-featured word processor, and it feels a hundred times more like a proper Mac application than Word.
