G+_Jonathan Mayer Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Google's free attitude just caught Apple Google has always offered its services for free. Free web browser, free email, free mobile OS, and free OS. They have never charged for an update for any service. Today, Apple has joined them. OSX 10.9: Free. iWork: Free. iLife: free. They all have the caveat of "with new iOS or Mac purchase" but in a year that won't matter. Basically the whole entry-level Apple software suite is free. All of a sudden Apple and Google are competing on the same cost level. Now its all about features. #micro-who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I provide 100 reasons for saying what I say: https://plus.google.com/103567149030227531453/posts/Ke2vVLknjBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Tim Castro Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You ever try using iWork? My wife is a teacher and has an iPad through her school. She needed my help creating a presentation for her Back to School night. Since I've been creating PowerPoint presentations at my job for years, I thought Keynote should be a breeze. WHAT A HUNK OF JUNK! Talk about a totally worthless piece of software. I finally just created the presentation in PowerPoint and exported it to Keynote.
