Cons: Won't let you edit tracks at the sample level, Full package (GarageBand plus all Jam Packs) takes up a ton of drive space and requires a powerful system for satisfying performance., No a la carte downloads, No popular commercial recordings, Can't stream m
Verdict: Overall, Apple iWork '06 is a compelling package, though mostly due to Keynote 3. Keynote 3 is a better tool than PowerPoint, and Pages 2 offers some intriguing new features, though professional users will still yearn for Adobe FrameMaker.
Summary: Both Pages 2 and Keynote 3 up the ante, moving each application, and the iWork suite as a whole, a little bit closer to industrial strength.

Title: Apple iWork '06
Pros: 3D charts and calculations in tables. Enhanced shape tools. Image-adjustment controls. Gorgeous templates and themes, along with many other enhancements.
Cons: No spreadsheet application. The word-processing component of the Pages application isn't as powerful as Microsoft Word. No upgrade pricing.
Summary: For word processing, the Apple iWork '06 Pages program is no match for Microsoft Word or ThinkFree Office 3.0. But it's capable, and its ability to create gorgeous documents easily is unequaled on the Mac.
