Yeah, no kidding. They bundled AppleWorks, why can't they bundle iWork? Get it some installed base.

I think they admitted to having a not-very-high confidence level for last year's spreadsheet prediction, so they covered their ass a little. This time around, it'll look worse if t…

Keynote is quite good, but Pages is just mediocre. Let's see what happens when these get upgraded and Charts gets added.
