Hi, I'm contemplating on moving my day-to-day productivity work over to the Mac and was wondering from those whom had used MS Office under Windows felt about the ease of use of iWorks.
I've never used Office versions later than 2003 so my experience is limited to those related to that and later versions. I do, however, receive documents, spreadsheets and presentations which were created under newer versions of Office and do have a need to move out the same to others. How well is this handled?? If I run W7 under VMWare or BootCamp, I'd still have to pull in a copy of Office compatible with W7 and that's even more cost so just trying to keep my expenses down. Otherwise, I'll have to find a Windows based notebook for this work. I'm still hoping my next notebook would be a MBP instead of a Windows notebook. Right now, for an investment of $79.00 for iWorks seems more economical for my iMac than doing it with W7 and Office plus VMWare. Then, once I get my MBP, purchasing it all again (of course I really wouldn't have to since docs and files are saved also under native iWorks file types). Also, I remember someone asking about an OSX compatible Database program to handle databases from Access but don't remember seeing an answer. Has anyone found such a program?
