Intuitive interface design and easy access to useful features make iWork the best office suite choice on the Mac. Though it lacks some of Microsoft Office's advanced options, iWork '09 is an emerging powerhouse in its own right.
RRP: AU$129.00

Lots of things missing from MSWord, not the happy gloss of this review: dictionary learns words then doesn't suggest them or forgets them; formatting choices change all the time; after you specify which language, it will change back to English with no indication and for no apparent reason; can't insert any file other than .pdf, and that only the first page of a multipage document; if you accidentally select text, very hard to unselect; context menus straight from the early 1990's--all in all MUCH less efficient and MUCH more frustrating than Word.
The good: Looks nice
The bad: Doesn't really facilitate my work. Was sold this as 'even better than Word'---not so much.
