Spain is a bit different. I do not use Office, I use LibreOffice or OpenOffice for my communication with students.

<p>We are in a 1-1 computing environment and we do not have IWorks on our computers. We have the ILife suite which is really important for us, but we felt using Office was a better solution. Most people are familiar with Office, and students will be doing their work in Office, Excel, etc. throughout the academic career, and therefore we thought it made more sense to develop their skill in just one set of programs. I personally do not see any drawbacks to not having IWork.</p>
