Apple iWork 08
MAC, Soft, Windows
The iWork ‘08 is a solid deal for anyone needing an affordable office suite for the Mac. Apple has added the spreadsheet application Numbers, an elegant no-brainer for anyone migrating from Microsoft Excel.
In the past, many Mac aficionados bought Microsoft Excel because iWork lacked a spreadsheet tool. However, with the addition of Numbers and the release of Microsoft’s Office for Mac 2008 delayed until January, Mac users may stick to Apple’s less-expensive option. We’re also happy that Mac hasn’t changed its file formats as Microsoft did with Office 2007. iWork applications can read Microsoft’s new files, saving the work in the older format.
Setup and interface
The system requirements of iWork ‘08, thankfully, are gentle to users of older Macs. You’ll need an Intel, PowerPC G5 or G4 machine with a 500MHz or better processor, in addition to a minimum of 512MB of RAM, running OS X10.4.10. Installation took about 10 minutes in our tests.
