Apple iWork for Business online seminar

Apple has posted a online seminar on using iWork '08 in a business environment. Presented together with Rebecca Breitenkamp, the CFO of a biotech company that uses iWork internally, the half-hour video goes over some of the basic ways that Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can be used in a corporate setting. It not really a step-by-step tutorial, but more of a series of examples of how well iWork functions on what many folks think of as Microsoft Office's turf.
To watch the video you will need need to complete a free registration.

This is good stuff. Hope Apple continues with the series and promote this more often.

How Apple could exclude such a fundamental feature is beyond me. Yeah I know save often, blah blah, that certainly is important, but how many times has Autosave saved your butt?
For this reason I can not recommend Pages any more. Especially in a business setting. At least not until they add auto-save.
I use Word a lot (X -> 2004 -> 2008). When it crashes, the auto save is so old that it is garbage.
Apple+S is completely ingrained in my fingers' muscle memory now. Saved my bacon many times.
I still freak out a bit when word loads the auto recovery after a crash.. even though i know my latest save is < 5 minutes old.
Now powerpoint crashing during a save.. that's a different painful story.
Completely Off topic: Anyone notice that expose is somewhat working with Word now after 10.5.3? Even if it does have a bug of selecting the last used window instead of the selected word window when switching back from another app, it's still nice to see it progressing to functioning like a normal application.
doesn't seem to skip the process for me though!
