Just got a macbook, wondering if I should get office or iWork, someone give me the pros and cons of both, I have never had a mac before and have never used iWork. I am going to college in the fall so I will need one of them.

If you're going into anything that could resemble business, get the microsoft office.  I had both, and I only ended up using iWork for putting together flyers for things around campus.  Other than that, all Office

im on a mac and i have both. why? i got Iwork installed when i first bought it. it is very similar to office (excel & word). But then I started using my computer for work and since Im an accountant everyone I work with or for has Windows so it was just easier as far as sending files, saving stuff on the network etc.. without having to convert stuff.
so if you dont have to coordinate it with windows programs IWork is fine. If you do just buy the student version of office which is what I bought. It was only $90.
