Retail sales only.
Apple's primary market is home users, of course. Buyers of iWork with a high speed connection should be able to download it(?). Buyers of Macs should be able to purchase iWorks pre-installed.

Quoting:
The iWork program is a relative newcomer to the Office scene, having debuted in January, 2005.


Speculating, did Apple restrict the channels by which the new program was available in order to bring people into Apple stores?
