Which do you use? I had office 2004, and wasn't impressed. iWork seems okay.... What are you using? Should I buy Office 08 for myself???

NeoOffice is a good free replacement. Better than OpenOffice. NeoOffice is a port of OpenOffice specifically for Mac OS X. It is better integrated into Mac OS X with features such as access to the system grammar checker that are not available with OpenOffice. NeoOffice can also handle the latest Microsoft document formats (docx, pptx, xlsx) which OpenOffice cannot.
open office aqua (what i linked to) is better than neooffice as it has the osx interface but not ran on flash which is slow like neooffice
what are you talking about? open office is more advanced than neooffice as neooffice lags behind open office feature wise. remember its neooffice that incorporates open office features, not vice versa
open office can most certainly handle the latest MS office formats
iWork and its counterpart for making slides can be useless and troublesome to personal Mac-ers. No software seems to have ability to alphabetize a list of names. That might be included in Office and I should have checked before I purchase iWorks.Which do you use? I had office 2004, and wasn't impressed. iWork seems okay.... What are you using?

I use iWork for some work, and NeoOffice/OpenOffice.org for anything that will be cross-platform. Have not had any issues or problems. With one caveat: I don't use VBA macros, so have not explored it. When I worked for a Fortune 50 company I used Excel 2003/VBA extensively everyday. That would have been critical had I continued.

The latest version of Open Office certainly does open all the recent MS Office format.
