When i tried the office. It's sluggish, slow, unintuitive. plus it's making my mac seriously very unpleasant to be used. Of course, some feature in office is nice while you dont get it with iwork.

I supposed the workflow and how efficient you can work is everyone's priority. iwork files can be made compatible to office and vise versa.

It's like taking itune in windows. same misery, different thing.

@shoguniphicus,
I been informed that's because Mac Office 2004 wasn't built for the Intel chipped Macs - it was meant for the predecessors.  Am awaiting Mac Office 2008 as that should speed things up.

Yes, i know that too. Till i have gotten my hands on the 2008 version. iWork is pretty much ahead. May be i will change my mind then after i try that out. ;p

That doesnt really annoy me, because a few tweaks will work for me. And those fancy stuff is always an eye opener when you are presenting in a crowd of pc.

Something for you to read on before choosing your side.
