Just curious about your thoughts?

I'm a really big fan of Keynote and Numbers. I don't like Pages so much, but then again I was trained in InDesign so that's what I prefer working in. Keynote is great - anything you can do to make your presentations look better is a plus in my book!

Just finished messing around in Pages, Numbers, and I'll get a chance to play with Keynote later.

I'm liking the upgrades so far. A bit speedier, nice new templates (even though I doubt I'll use them), and some layout changes.

One of my biggest gripes with Numbers and Pages was that I had to physically click on File>Export in order to save as a Word, or Excel, document. Now you can just Save As (CMD+SHIFT+S), so that is super nice.

Either way, I'll definitely upgrade from '08, and probably finally do away with Office 2008. Ugh, I hate that piece.

requires 10.5.6 - in case you haven't upgraded from 10.5.4 or 10.5.5. (i haven't)

I'm sure I'll buy it. No real reason why at this point except that my work will pay for it.

The keynote iPod touch app is pretty cool.
