I think it depends entirely on how you use the applications. My office is all Ms Office. We've found that pages documents don't really export well to word and even Word for Mac, which is not accessible, doesn't export well to word for windows. I think there are some better word processing packages for the Mac than Pages especially if you need to interface with Windows word etc. But if you're stand alone and not interfacing much with the Windows apps, then the Mac apps do fine. It's more an issue of compatibility than accessibility for the most part. But if you're working in a windows environment, I think careful research is in order. I ended up with a virtual machine on my Mac for just that rason. I do some work on the Mac side and some not he windows side.
