The apps are also designed to work seamlessly with Microsoft documents. For example, a Microsoft Word document dragged into Pages for iCloud will be converted and easily read.
In addition to working on iOS and Mac, iWork for iCloud also works on Windows computers and in other browsers, like Chrome. In fact, it supports Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer, bringing iWork to a broad array of devices.
iWork for iCloud is available today for developers and will be offered to other users later in the year.

Was I hearing things, or did he also say that they'd be releasing new desktop versions of the iWork apps later this year?
You heard right, new versions coming later.
No thanks.
As for PRISM concerns, yea, that's true for any data services. You'll have to stay offline to avoid PRISM.
