Being an Apple product it syncs together with iCloud and has a series of apps that interact well with it from Keynote to Numbers. Pages interacts with OS X in general seamlessly & provides a great basic word processing experience for users.

Word 2011 is the most current version for OS X and ties in with Office 365 program. For former windows users this may be the most comfortable interface.
