Or maybe you've never used iWork. Excel is better with functions then numbers is. But for most other things iWork does the job very well. I'd say pages is just as good as word and many people (myself included) prefer keynote to powerpoint. While I would agree that Keynote is way better than PowerPoint there is no way that Numbers is even close to Excel in any way and Pages is more for DTP rather than word processing so its really comparing apples to oranges. For business users there is really no substitute for MS Office right now.
It can't, they're proprietary formats. IWork is fantastic but if you're in a line of business where many people are collaborating on documents you might still need Office. Of course, many companies are moving to online work like Google docs etc. Apple really seemed to have squandered an fantastic opportunity with iWork.com I agree.
It is hard to get away from the pack when you are forced in line by their standards. Also, I am not sure what the deal is but Apple seems to kind of doing things half-assed lately with their hardware and software. IWorks.com is a nice example. Apple has all these ideas, products, or software solutions that could be so great but they just chose to ignore and neglect them.
Why even bother to start something if your not going to bring it to fruition and also drag it through the years on life support? :mad:^^^That is why I dumped MS Office 2011 in January. Needed to put it back on my computer for a job, updated and MS killed it with this 365 BS and I could not access my files. Ccleaner for mac. Screw M$ for this subscription based rental idea, and screw Adobe for following their footsteps. Your anger should be aimed at the people pirating their software for free over the years which has helped make this happen. However, you can still buy the standalone version of Office alongside Office 365, so calm down. Nothing has changed!
