iWork 07

[ajlwoody]

Hi,

I am soon going to purchase my first MacBook and want to get iWork. I have heard and read that there was iWork 07 released in january this year. But on the uk apple website it appears you can only buy the 06 version. Have apple not relased 07 yet or did the intend on releasing it and then at the last minute decided against it knowing they could improve it. Or is iWork 07 available in the uk just not off the apple website. Also if it has not been released does anybody know when it will be (possibly the same time as they release leopard in october?)

Thanks

Adam

ok thnaks i will.

but if you can get neo office free ( i had not neard about before) why do people pay for software like iWork, or is iWork alot better whereas neo is just very basic?

free open source software has its caveats, its not perfect, but its free. Pay for applications tend to be a bit easier to use but cost money. There is a trade off.
