Pages, Keynote, and Numbers 15 Go Freemium

Increasingly, Pages/Keynote/Numbers seem to be following the Microsoft model, and that is a deliberate insult to Apple. Between removing stuff that used to work, and the continuing “need to upgrade” nagware, if I wanted that, I’d just get an Office subscription.

Add to this the continuing problems I have with Music.app, and I’m getting really disgusted with Apple’s software quality. This is where i substantially disagree with those surveyed for the Apple Report Card.

All these comments make me long for the early days of getting iWork on a packaged disc and just using it from the install, no internet upgrades required…aah the good old days! This totally endless upgrade your software train does indeed seem like one of the “biggest rackets ever invented” (a magazine writer’s quote, not mine)!
