EDIT: I know some of you are mad that we linked directly to the torrent site. The reason we did this is to show people what we are talking about (that it does exist). People who are going to steal are going to know how to find a torrent. Those who don’t steal aren’t going to be swayed by our link. Move along.
Well, that didn’t take very long. It looks like those Internet “Evil Doers” have posted Apple’s new lifestyle set of apps on the Internet for all to see. It is really just unfortunate for Apple, who does not include any sort of serial number or tracking on their consumer applications, to miss out on revenue. I guess at a very reasonable $79.99 price point, they expect most customers to do the right thing and pay to play. If pirating eats too much into Apple’s bottom line, they will be forced to implement some sort of complicated hassleware to keep their innovations from being picked up from illegitimate sources. That would be bad.
On the flip side, I guess it is good to have this sort of thing for people who have defective or lost installer DVDs.
If you are too lazy/scared/morally-not-bankrupt to steal iWork, just head over to Apple’s iWork ’08 trial download page.
People, don’t steal – buy it cheap!
iWork 09 is Apple's competitor to Microsoft Office. It includes word processing, spreadsheet, and slide presentation applications in one collection of integrated tools. iWork 09 is compatible with Office in that files from one can be opened and updated with the other, but there's a difference in complexity between the two products. iWork 09 is much simpler system to than Office, which may be an advantage for some and a drawback for others.
All the component parts of iWork 09 have been designed to be simple to use (or at least simpler than Office). There are a number of nice features that users will like and that are easier to access and deploy than the equivalent in Office, but there are also some more-advanced features that are missing. Pages is the word-processing component and it provides enough power to satisfy most people, even to the point of being able to provide publication-ready content. Keynote is the presentation tool, with a lot of templates, transitions, and effects available. Numbers is the spreadsheet tool, with many one-click features for charts and tables. There is an iOS version of iWork 09, so you can use it on any Apple device.
iWork 09 is a mixed bag for us. The latest version is no longer new, and there has been no sign of updates. With the still-growing popularity of Office for the Mac, the main draw of iWork 09 is its lower price (although that advantage has disappeared almost completely lately due to aggressive marketing) and simpler interfaces that Mac users will be familiar with. Despite continued rumors of iWork's demise, Apple does seem to be continuing to offer it.
All in all, whether Office or iWork 09 is the right tool for you depends on whether you want fast food or a restaurant meal. Berjaya chiller manual.

If you bought a Mac from 2013 on, you can download the iWork suite of apps — Pages, Keynote and Numbers — from the Mac App Store absolutely free. But what if you bought an older Mac? You have to pay, and they’re expensive, running $19.99 each.
Thankfully, there’s a trick you can use to download iWork apps from the App Store for free. Here’s how.
This neat little trick was spotted by Redmond Pie. It lets owners of older Macs get free copies of Apple’s iWork programs. The cross-platform productivity suite includes presentation software (Keynote), a word processor (Pages) and a spreadsheet app (Numbers).
Here’s how it works.
How to get iWork Mac apps for Mac for free
1) First, download and install the iWork ’09 trial (.dmg).
2) Launch Pages, Numbers and Keynote, then quit each app.

3) Launch the Mac App Store, and go to the Updates tab.
4) Voila! You should now be able to update the iWork ’09 versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote to the latest versions. Do so.
5) Once you’ve updated each app, the iWork ’09 trials will have been deleted. Better yet, each app will be permanently associated with your account under the Purchases tab.
If you want to get the iWork apps for free on an older Mac, you might want to get hopping on this trick: It doesn’t seem likely Apple intends the iWork ’09 trial to be used in this way. But hey, Cupertino’s loss is your gain!
