So after installing iWork 08 yesterday I was expecting my already stretched hard disk to take a hit on free space but I was actually pleasantly surprised; I had lost as much space as I thought I would over the previous version. In fact when I checked the snapshots of Keynote 06 and Pages 06 (that I made with AppFresh) I worked out that Apple have over halved the total size of iWork 08 over iWork 06, and thats after adding Numbers! Here are some specifics:
- The iWork 06 folder’s total size (this is just Keynote and Pages) was 1.89GB, and the iWork 08 folder was only 687MB.
- Keynote 06 was 1010MB while Keynote 08 is only 282MB (the biggest reduction).
- Pages 06 was 825MB and Pages 08 is only 265MB.
- Numbers is only 136MB
So, I don’t know how they managed it, but thank you to all the coding monkeys at Apple who are on the iWork team who have given a superior product (or rather superior set of products) and saved me some disk space.
