Does iWork contain Word/Powerpoint? I don't think so. Might want to check on that.

If you want a free alternative to Office 2008 for Mac, you can try OpenOffice, but I have never used it so use it at your own risk.

I have and use OpenOffice (www: OpenOffice.org - The Free and Open Productivity Suite) on all of my Windows boxes and on my MacBook Pro. It has all of the MS Office suite functionality and have never had a compatibility issue. Best of all, it's free.
