Apple Limits Access to iWork for iCloud Following 'Overwhelming Response' to Public Beta
Apple has begun limiting access to the iWork for iCloud beta for some users due to an "overhwhelming response", notes 9to5Mac. The company launched the beta to developers at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June before starting to invite non-developers in batches last month. Apple opened up access for all users last Friday, with that influx apparently pushing the service's current limits.
Sorry...
We've had an overwhelming response to Numbers for iCloud beta. Please check back soon.
In the meantime, you can continue to store your spreadsheets in iCloud.
iWork for iCloud is a browser-based implementation of Apple's iWork suite of productivity apps: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. The service will work with Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer, offering a native-like experience on machines and platforms that do not or can not have the full iWork apps installed.

The Apple ecosystem can really be something when it comes to launching these kind of products, haha.
Google Docs is also cross-platform and all good, but the one major disadvantage for me here is that there are no nice, native apps for it. It's like asking me to pick Adobe Photoshop or Pixlr in a world where Adobe had developed a complementary web service you could use to freely display and edit PSD files. The Photoshop deal would be so much more powerful. Web services are always kind of icky (I have a hard time defining the feeling) and while I enjoy the flexibility with them, I do prefer to work natively at least when I can.
"Powerful Business Apps"? LMAO. There's nothing particularly powerful with MS Office. It's just become the defacto standard so anything else that comes along appears inferior because it's the underdog. If businesses needed powerful business apps they wouldn't be using Powerpoint, they would be using Keynote because it kicks the holy crap out of that weak a$$ PPT.
Also try and think ahead future-wise rather than being in "Today". You sound like there's no room for improvement with Numbers and iWork will never be used for business.
The world is moving to online computing and it makes things much easier for everyone to work with multiple platforms.
If I didn't know any better it sounds like you don't want innovation past what Microsoft is offering as if you have some stake in it monopolizing the world. Hmm.;)

Excellent post! Too bad it doesn't give any reasons why iWork is not good. :rolleyes:
Keynote was a mile ahead of PowerPoint in terms of being able to quickly make attractive presentations though PowerPoint has largely closed the gap though in the last version of Office. Pages is, depending on your specific needs, either better than, or no competition to Word. If you use pages as more of a Publisher substitute, it kills. As a workaday word processor, it is about equal to Word. For heavy duty writing, it lacks all of the features that serious Word users would need. Numbers, as I might have mentioned however, is bloody useless.
