From the Apple page: The latest improvements to the Office productivity suite promise new approaches to create, manage and distribute your projects. New features and tools in the programs help you get work done more efficiently. And now you can extend your reach beyond Office with greatly improved AppleScript support."
imagine if they worked on openoffice.org, gave it an aqua look 'n' feel and also threw in ximian's connecter so it could connect to ms exchange! it would be better than having to depend on microsoft for a proper office suite. let's face it, appleworks plain sucks. it never opens any ms office documents. even though openoffice.org is only 1.0.3 and needs x11 to work, it's still way better than any other alternative to ms office.
a lot of people think that they need ms office but they don't at all.
look at the safari situation. apple making their own browser from an existing open source rendering engine was the best thing they ever did. safari is way better than mac ie
