Ordering my iMac - Preinstalled software?

[Orme]

Hey!

Should I order any of the preinstalled software packages, or would I be better off buying them elsewhere?

I know I would probably use Microsoft Office, but what is iWork, will I benefit from it, do I need it?

Well, what will I be using my iMac for you wonder?

I'll be using it for the Adobe CS5 Premium Design Package

Graphic Design, Web, Music, Photos, Browsing, Games, College Work

So... are these pre-installed packages for me, or should I save my money with the option of buying them somewhere else if I ever need them?

Thanks xx ♥

[Edit] Oops I meant iWork, not iLife!

iWork is similar to Office for Mac. It includes three apps, Pages (Word), Numbers (Excel) and Keynote (PowerPoint). There is a free trial of Office for Mac and iWork so I wouldn't by them yet. Try them out and then buy what you think is the better.
