Sears selling iWork, but not Apple’s office suite

Sears selling iWork, but not Apples office suiteEven with the 2011 release, Microsoft Office for Mac just isn’t as smooth or easy to use as Apple’s iWork productivity suite.

But there are things iWork can’t do. It can’t help you fix your car. It can’t assist in hanging that new painting or fixing the leak in the bathroom.

Or can it?

According to a story over at Macenstein, Sears is selling a 119 piece toolset with the iWork name on it. The name even looks like something Apple would design.

This toolset, however, cannot export files to PDF or any of Office’s file formats. Perhaps the next update will add such functionality?

Joking aside, I bet some lawyers will be involved soon.
