Evert, it will likely come down to personal choice. SOme may find one package more accessible than the other or some portion more accessible than the other. Some may find the cost to be an issue and they are more interested in the free Open Office solution. In the end it only matters that you choose the software package that fits your needs. I personally do not base my evaluation on the cost as much as functionality, usability, and accessibility. If iWorks proves to be more accessible than Open Office, I'll happily spend the money for it. Now if iWorks turns out to be accessible enough, I may also be able to justify finally moving from windows to the Mac at work. That is one area that prevents me from making the change and I'm sure they will not adopt Open Office as a solution.

Good morning,

From a usability and accessibility perspective, is there a reason to prefer
iWork 9 over OpenOffice 3?

Thanks,
