Exchange (Entourage) is the piece missing from iWork, et al. I have to have Entourage. And I'm looking forward to eliminating another Rosetta app.
Is there a setting in iWork to save stuff in .doc etc?
Try the "export" option in the file menu instead of "save." You get the choice of .pdf, .doc etc. Great for all those not yet following iWork. The same thing works in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. It's not automatic (that I know of) but it solves the problem.
No, you mean Intuit. A UB of Quicken would arrive long, long after Office 2008, assuming it even materialized.Pretty scary that Mister Softee has taken 4 years to get this out -- despite the macintel transition 2 years ago. They will be the last software company on the planet to convert to universal.

I'm not too fond of iWork after trying the trial. Very much prefer Office, more features and I'm more used to how it works. I'm using Office in Bootcamp though, since 2004 on intel is rather slow. Rather excited for 2008.![]()
Entourage user here. This is a good deal to move to the latest version once it ships.
Actually, truth be told, Office 2008 is merely a native version of Office 2004 with features that were too time consuming to re-write removed. To be fair, MS did throw a new skin over it.
The day I see a Mac version of Office that's fully compatible with the Windows version and has an Outlook client will be the day I actually get excited for a Mac Office suite from MS.
Meh I can wait a few months for a native Office 2008. I only have a 1gb of ram too, so parallel's will run pretty slow.Why not use Parallel's Desktop and use Office 2007 in that, save you restarting..?
Granted, if you need an email client for corporate use, then Outlook is it. But I've grown to like Entourage and hoping that 2008 doesn't change all that much. Especially when it comes to synching my Treo 755p to it, which if it didn't work, that would be a deal breaker and have me start looking for another solution (Mail.app, Address Book, iCal).
Prepare for the first disappointment... the Palm Conduit for sync'ng is no more.
Entourage via Sync Services -> iCal/Address Book -> Treo is the method now.
Apple changed the online price for Students which thus makes competition. So your university gets to choose how much it wants to sell it for (They buy it from Apple for $69 still). My school decided to make $20 bucks off of their Mac users, so I bought it from my friends University for $69. I hate how capitalism works sometimes.

Palm? That's sooo 2000.
Does Entourage read RSS feeds? Does it crash all the time like it did in 2004?
