iWork ’08 Trial
As soon as the Apple Store got over its shyness, I placed my orders for iLife and iWork ’08. However, later in the day, Apple made the iWork ’08 suite available for download as a trial package. While the iWork ’06 suite was installed on all new Macs, it was never available as a trial download. What’s nice is that you can actually just buy the serial number from within iWork now. Nice. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have opted for the shipped package.
It’s nice to see Apple finally adopting the shareware approach to software distribution.
What’s even nicer is that the education price for the download is $49, while the price for the boxed version is $71. However, there is no download discount for the consumer version. Bummer
