iWork ‘08

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

I officially don’t care when or if Office 2008 comes out. iWork ‘08 is that good. I’ve been using iWork since 2005, mostly for Keynote. Keynote has been better than PowerPoint since 1.0. Every time I do a Keynote presentation people ask me “How did you do that?” Lately, I’ve been learning to love Pages as well. Pages ‘08 eliminates all of the minor annoyances I’ve noticed from the previous version. I’m not a big spreadsheet guy, but Numbers is a very nice app as well.

I’m really considering dragging Office 2004 to the Trash. That’s 420 MB I could be using for something else.

UPDATE: Apple has posted a free 30-day trial of iWork ‘08. Download it here.
