Basically which of the above do people run (if any) and why?

OSB

iWork 08 + Office 2008. Only because I got both free (legally I might add

)

However Office 2008 sucks so I mostly use iWork.

i run neoOffice but it is useless. I have tried openOffice, it too is useless. iWork is bareable but I don't like it. I use office.

I use iWork, I love it.

If I had to spend a lot of time sharing documents with Windows users I would probably use one of the others, but thankfully I don't have to so I can use the nicest bit of kit

I have office 2008, slow and a bit meh to be honest. I would advise others to try before you buy

I use InDesign for anything Pages/Word etc does, as I find these text editors slow and cumbersome for what they should be (Bring back appleworks!!!!).

I use Numbers for the spreadsheet and Keynote for presentations.

I have iWork and NeoOffice installed, used to have all of them but office 2008 was shocking :/

I liked iWork but went with Office 08. It gets the job done although it could be better.

I use Office 2008 and 2007 on Parallels.

OpenOffice. Does NeoOffice not become defunct now?

New version of Open Office does not need X11 anymore to run it. Go for it as it is free and has easy to use interface.

NeoOffice should be defunct but you know Open Source, wasting efforts doing pretty much the same thing twice (KDE/Gnome etc.)...

I use Office 2008, i have iWork and OpenOffice but quite frankly they can't and probably never will be able to compete with Office.
