PCMag reviews iWork '06. "For word processing, the Apple iWork '06 Pages program is no match for Microsoft Word or ThinkFree Office 3.0. But it's capable, and its ability to create gorgeous documents easily is unequaled on the Mac." My take: I concur. iWork is the best tool for the job when you need to create a document you yourself will distribute physically; however, since iWork uses a closed file format only iWork users can read, distributing it electronically is fairly useless.

So the problem is people can't read one proprietary format, so we save in another proprietary format.
I'm sure the next set of updates will include ODF support, MS Office on the other hand I'm still not sure whether they have got it in fully or not.
I know people who haven't got copies of MS Office too, at least PDFs can be readable by everyone, all you need is Adobe Reader.
If it doesn't need to be edited of course.
