I think the headline should have read: "New Pages (Numbers and Keynote) is a crippled Knockoff of a Great App" or perhaps, "Older Software Leaves New Version in the Dust! Who says 'New' is Equivalent to 'Progress' Much Less 'Better?'" rolleyes.gif But the article does probably define the demographic of the new versions: The marginally qualified to use a computer without supervision group.

Must admit, this article made the new Pages sound so enticing, I was almost ready to go buy. Thankfully I know better.  toothgrin.gif
