Microsoft has dropped the prices of both compared to Office 2008, so you now get the Home & Student for £90 (only £10 more than iWork '09). There are two flavours of Office 2011, one with Outlook and the other without. But don't let these things put you off, because this is a vast improvement over what came before at a more competitive price. There are still some annoying little characteristics that will grate over time – such as when you click Cancel to get rid of the Document Gallery, it still opens a fresh document in that app. Ultimately, though, you can't get by on the old-style toolbars alone – the range of options just isn't there. Doing so in Outlook was a Mac-like case of drag and drop, whereas in Word, there was a more complex dialog. You get a regular toolbar above the Ribbon, which you can customise in the different apps.
