The editors liked
Cheaper than Microsoft Office
Slick transitions for Keynote
Many attractive templates for all three applications
Innovative
Graphically dazzling suite. Highly compatible with Microsoft Office documents. Canvas-style page holds multiple tables. Presentation software outclasses competitors. Great bang for the buck.
Creates professional-looking documents with ease
Simple user interface belies powerful features
Fixes many shortcomings with iWork 08.
Interface tweaks make commonly used features more accessible. Flashy
Eye-catching presentations are even easier to make. iWork apps play well together with added interoperability across the suite.
The editors didn't like
Few new features with this release
Minor formatting issues when opening files in Office
IWork.com will cost an extra fee when fully released
Not as feature-rich as Microsoft Office. Sample templates too elaborate for most users. No view that hides top
Bottom page margins.
Some standard productivity suite features still missing
Patchy Microsoft Office compatibility.
Still no business-grade e-mail client. iWork.com Web component doesnt allow for true collaboration. The lack of an auto save feature is a particularly problematic omission we hope to see in future releases.
