Comments about Apple iWork '09 Software for Mac OS X (Family Pack):
I am a college student who is constantly having to write essays and make presentations. Iworks is great for all uses!!! I use pages and Keynotes for personal, business, school and other presentations. The only fault I see is that it might take a while for you to get the hang of how it works for it is very different from Word, Exel, and Power Point

Comments about Apple iWork '09 Software for Mac OS X (Family Pack):
Being a Graphic Designer, I guess I like control over graphics and such. I feel that Pages gives me that, but still provides the ease of a word processing document for normal everyday things. (I am not saying that I would use this in place of professional software such as Illustrator, Indesign, etc...)
I like the fact that it doesn't try to second guess me with the whole automatic formating like Word does (I really do highly dislike Word).
I don't know too much about numbers as I haven't tried to use it yet. I do use Excel quite a bit when making calculations for pricing, so I hope that Numbers gives me the same sort of functions. I imagine it will, as the app that Apple had in the past (Appleworks) performed pretty similarly to Excel, (but a lot more limited).
One ting I do not like about Pages is that I cannot seam to drag and copy images... A question mark appears when I do and also that a shapes cannot crop an image, it just scales it to fit... Hey but I guess its not a layout program like Indesign or QuarkXpress.
