NPD: Sales of Apple’s iWork ‘09 beat iWork ‘08 by 50 percent

“According to the NPD Group, iWork 2009 sold 50 percent more units in its first 11 months on the market, from January to November 2009, than its predecessor, iWork 2008, sold in the same frame. iLife 2009, during the 11-month frame, sold about the same number of units as iLife 2008,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider. “iLife is included with all new Macs.”

“Both can also be purchased along with the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard upgrade in a $169 box set for a single user, or $229 family pack,” Hughes reports. “Volume increases for iWork and iLife do not include the bundle pack sales.”

Hughes reports, “In addition, the single-user license box sets for iWork have been a big seller for Apple. iWork and iLife are available separately with a $79 single user license for each, or a $99 family pack that can be installed on up to five computers.”
