iWork '06 - complete package Review
The good: Both applications in Apple iWork '06--Keynote 3 and Pages 2--have simple interfaces for basic tasks. A new Tables feature is welcome and points the way toward spreadsheet capabilities; Keynote presentations have a leg up on Microsoft PowerPoint's.
The bad: Some of Keynote's more advanced features are lost when saved to the PowerPoint format, and sound support is limited. Pages 2 is slow to register what you are typing.
The bottom line: Overall, Apple iWork '06 is a compelling package, though mostly due to Keynote 3. Keynote 3 is a better tool than PowerPoint, and Pages 2 offers some intriguing new features, though professional users will still yearn for Adobe FrameMaker.
