Neo Office is clunky, and Pages messes up on formatting when I save for Word. Also, I really rely on pivot tables in Excel, and Numbers doesn't do that. So, I'm left with Office -- at least for now. I'm hopeful that Google will develop a better solution. I use a Macbook Pro in a windows workplace, so have to consider cross-platform issues.

On my MacPro with twin 2.66 duo cores and 4gb ram Neooffice took 8-10 seconds to load...simply it's sluggish. My recommendation is iWork, Apple's office package. I'm not sure how much it is there, but it was $129 AUD (about $110) for the 5 install version (cheaper for one) and it's a pleasure to use. Highly under-rated.
