Problem is its a proprietary file format, just like AppleWorks was. You can't send a iWorks file to anyone else, even other Mac users and expect them to be able to open it.

You can export it as a microsoft word etc file and it works fine as far as I've experienced. Never had a problem. But I work with PDFs more than anything now anyway.

I hate having to export file in different formats, And what about Windows users who have the iPad, how do they access those documents on their PC when there is no iworks for Windows? I just don't see a reason for Apple to develop iWork.
kurandoinu:
Uh, what? Why would the exporting of files not work for the windows user on the ipad as it does on iwork?
And maybe because using the rival companies programs is never what a company wants to do? :S
