I'd love to hear any other thoughts on iWork vs. Word for Mac. I'm gearing up to make the switch from PC to Mac in a few weeks, and this is the one thing I just have no clue about. After a visit from the Apple store today and a lovely chat with a specialist, I was pretty sold on iWork. Then I came home and started reading reviews and am just as confused as I was before. I'm mostly concerned about compatibility - specifically with Pages. I need to be able to easily open Word documents and send documents out to people using Word. Does that usually cause problems? A lot of the reviews noted that you can open Word documents but that involves saving them as .pages, hence renaming, shuffling around, and a general pain in the butt. Any thoughts? The price alone of iWork is tempting enough, but I really want the easiest and most reliable program.
I recognize the addiction to being alive.
