Apples neues iWork zwar kostenlos, dafür aber schlechter?

Apple hat vor wenigen Tagen ein wahres Produktfeuerwerk gelaunched und dabei sämtliche Produktivitäts-Software und sogar das neue Betriebssystem unter bestimmten Umständen kostenlos bereitgestellt. Das freut natürlich Anwender, die bislang den Kauf einer neuen Version gescheut haben. Auch das Office-Paket iWork mit den Programmen Pages (Word-), Numbers (Excel-) und Keynote (Powerpoint-Pendant) wird Käufern einer älteren Version bzw. Käufern eines neuen Computers von Apple kostenlos bereit gestellt.

Neu = Besser? In diesem Fall wohlkaum, hat Apple doch - wie schon vor einiger Zeit mit Final Cut Pro X - Funktionen aus dem neuen Paket entfernt. So ist die Optik und Bedienbarkeit zwar verbessert worden, dies ging aber zu Lasten der Funktionsvielfalt. In Apples Diskussionsforen werden mittlerweile Listen mit den fehlenden Features zusammengestellt (für Pages, Numbers, Keynote), ob dies den Konzern aus Cupertino zum Umdenken bringt, ist ungewiss. Nutzer einer älteren Version der Bürosoftware können diese anscheinend über einen entsprechenden Unterordner im Programmverzeichnis finden. Die (aktuell) kompletten Änderungen innerhalb der Apps lauten wie folgt:

Pages 2013

  • Selecting non-contiguous text gone
  • Outline view appears gone
  • Customizable Toolbar is gone

  • Update is missing for older installations, Apple is reportedly working on a solution via a redeemable code or update on the ir Support Download site
