Why does Microsoft think we're happy to spend six times more on their Office suite than Apple's iWork?
Review Verdict: 350 quid really stings when Apple only charge £55 for essentially the same software. If you don't need Excel, you may as well get iWork

Review Verdict: From some angles, the overall question of whether you should upgrade to Office 2008 is a no-brainer. Office 2008 is as close as you can get to a universal app, and all of the changes I explored are improvements or at least potentially worthwhile additions
