I know quite a few people with Macs and none of them have MS Office.....Appleworks is $375 cheaper and does everything most people need to do.

Yeah, but there's one thing Appleworks doesn't do; one thing that Word does so well....

corrupt files

And I can completely work around MS Office with AppleWorks and MacLinkPlus, if I needed to.
