if u already have office for mac, no. They're gonna do the same thing, plus even in works their powerpoint program and excel program does not always translate correctly on windows computers.

Office has more options than iWork, but what does it matter if most Office users never even touch those extra options?

I think Keynote has much better animations and presentation templates than Powerpoint. But you have Office, no need to get something that is going to do the same thing.

They both provide a solid suite of programs. Can't go wrong with either one.

And for those thinking about this in the future, buying Office for Mac is 150 and iWork is 50 when you buy it with a new Mac.

like everyone said, if you already have office then no.

with the Mac App Store, you dont have to buy the whole package I believe and can buy certain ones if need be.
