Try out iWork ‘08 free for 30 days

The new iWork ‘08 release sure is a step forward compared to iWork ‘06. While Keynote was perfect, Pages was lacking any true wordprocessor capabilities and the lack of any spreadsheet application made it feel unbalanced compared to Microsoft Office or OpenOffice.
