Customer Rating:
Summary: iWorks
Comment: Generally satisfied. I wish Numbers had been accompanied by a good tutorial. It is quite different from MS Office which I am fairly acquainted with so better instructions would be handy. Also some of the most usable MS Office attributes are missing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not an Office substitute
Comment: This program is great... if you are operating in an environment full of Mac users or not trading files with anyone at all. When it comes to working with Microsoft files (which dominate the rest of the working and academic world) this package falls flat. Formatting goes missing, documents look funny, and nothing is ever quite the way you expected it to be.
I have one word for Office users moving to Mac: DON'T. Shell out the extra cash for Office 2008 for Mac.

Summary: Best price anywhere
Comment: Arrived early, brand new, I installed it that day and it is working perfectly. I give this seller my highest rating.
Customer Rating:
Summary: My favorite office software for Mac.
Comment: First, please excuse me while I rant: To those who criticize iWork because it doesn't mimic their favorite Microsoft Office feature, I have to ask "Just what did you expect?" Look. If you want Office, then _buy_ Office, and don't blame Apple because you chose the wrong tool for the job.
I'm not one of those Microsoft-bashers. I use Office on a Windows PC at work without complaint, but for my own use on my own Mac I prefer iWork to Office:mac 2008. Subjectively, it's more streamlined and user-friendly, and its compliment of applications and features better suits my purposes. Objectively, it's faster, more trouble-free, much better integrated with OS X and iLife, and it costs less.
There is usually nothing particularly exciting about "productivity software." You mostly use it when you have to, not because you want to. But, iWork seems to be a little bit of a departure from the usual, and - at the risk of sounding geeky - it can be fun to use.

Summary: The Little Program that Could
Comment: It seems like a basic word program, but it has so many frills, bells and whistles, that I still haven't found them all yet, but I'm always amazed at what it can do.
