Well I'm sure there is a learning curve here, but just a bit of warning for folks. I tried opening an existing document that was done in Word and I was able to navigate through it for the most part, but it was challenging. I also tried a couple of the pre-existing templates and those were tricky. I think the issue with Pages, Numbers, and any that use tables will be the tables. I could not for example navigate with the regular arrow keys within the tables while using Numbers. If I used the VO navigation I was able to get around, but I could not tell what I was editing even when interacting. I tried importing an existing MS Excel spreadsheet and that was most odd since it seems the data was missing and that seemed impossible. So I'm not saying things are bad, but there is surely to be a learning curve here and there is still a lot to be done.

This is excellent news. I'll grab a trial copy and give it a spin. Yet more evidence that Apple really is in this for the long haul. Awesome!

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
