Introduction

Apple announced their updated productivity suite, iWork 08, at their special event on August 7, 2007. Included in this somewhat belated update - it's either five months early or seven months late, depending on your point of view - was the eagerly anticipated spreadsheet application Numbers.

During the event, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs spent most of the time allocated talking about and showing off the new Numbers spreadsheet application. The Numbers application completes the productivity suite. Apple iWorks now provides a word processor, page layout application, spreadsheet, and presentation. Despite his interest in the Numbers application, the CEO also briefly covered some of the new features of the Pages and Keynote applications.

One thing you find after you install iWork '08 is that, when you start, you're offered quick tutorials. If you have time, I'd strongly recommend the initial tour of iWork '08, as well as the video tutorials on basic features and, also, the various features that set the iWork '08 applications apart from their competitors. Apple offers a 30 day free trial of iWork on their website.

So how do the new versions of Pages and Keynote compare to their '06 counterparts? How does the suite stack up against Microsoft Office for the Mac?
