Bundling it with the OS means either giving it away for free (which means it won't be d…
perhaps the reason it's not selling well is because Pages is a crapy jolty program. Keynote is great! If Charts turns out to be like Pages or Aperature.....nobody will buy it. Q…
I completely agree with barney ntd. They should at least bundle it on the consumer-targeted Macs. They could still sell it separately for "Pro" Mac users or people who want the nex…
