iWork - "The Mac Way"

Does that translate to online document apps just like google, but less functional, more encumbered, and full of proprietary goodness? Mac is known for innovating, this is really a tired rehash of something done much better by someone else. Why would I have any incentive to use iWork over Google docs?

iwork.com is already live and iWork 09 is available for download/purchase. The URL iWork.com brings you to iWork's page on apples site but when you install iWork 09' and click the iWork.com button in that it send your documents to iWork.com. Everything is working (although admittedly iWork.com is beta)

Apple's new offering with iWork seems to be very siliar with MS Office Live Workspace, where the online version is has limited capability and use only primarily for collaboration and sharing (Although both companies, in time, will have the full-pledge online version of their office suites). Also, the new features of iPhoto (face recognition, integration with Facebook and Flickr) are already exsiting for Windows Live Photo Gallery.
