Has anyone used Numbers '08 yet?

I'm hoping they can do for Excel what they did for PwrPoint.

1. I will find out in Oct when I buy a new Mac. Mine is pushing

eight years old. It's time.

2. I have and use it...

It is really nice for personal use. Passing files to Excel isn't so hot. It works but some complicated stuff breaks. iWork is amazing for the price, I don't regret buying it.

3. I have it. It's ok. Needs a lot of work.

I like the layout system. Some silly things that Excel does in its sleep that Numbers can't do at all.

I hope they patch it to fix some things. The buttons are too small, and hard to read. I have a 20" display, so it's not for lack of screen real-estate.

I use it a few times a week to play with it more, but it is not going to scare Microsoft. Not in its present form.

If you'd like me to whip something up and email you a PDF of it or screenshots, let me know.

5. I use Neo Office.

It's Open Source, free and works great. I own the last version of iWork though without numbers.
