Does it work on the web even for the people that don't own anything Apple, maybe only an iTunes account? Because if it's not interoperable with non Apple devices and OSes it's going to stay small. Think of Google Docs working only on Android and Chromebooks.

iWork on the web already had real-time collaboration, the Mac and iOS version didn't.

According to the keynote, yes. I imagine we'll know more once it's released, the date for which hasn't actually been communicated.

Even then are there compelling features (I didn't see the keynote) that make the web-based service superior to others?
