Aqua-Soft ForumsHas anyone ever tried AppleWorks for Windows? If you did you'll agree it's one of the fastest apps for PC that Apple has evr put out. AppleWorks is more than fulle featured. And SMALL, LESS than 100 MB. A very powerfull app from Apple.
Hate Ms Office? Give Appleworks A Try!
AppleWorks for Windows???
No such thing...
System Requirements
AppleWorks 6.2 for Mac OS
An Apple computer with a PowerPC processor
24MB of physical RAM with virtual memory set to at least 25MB
Mac OS 8.1 or later; built for Mac OS X2
A CD-ROM drive or a drive that reads data CD's (for installation)
An Internet connection2
QuickTime 4.1.2 or higher (included on CD)
There is no version written for Windows.
Well they are offering an update to Appleworks 6.2.1 for windows on their site.
I have AppleWorks 5 for Windows, but have never found 6. I saw the update to 6.1 for Windows a long time ago but never how to get version 6.
If anyone finds out how to get it let me know. I called the Apple store last year to ask for it, they said they were'nt sure if they were going to release a windows version or not. I never followed up with them.
AppleWorks for Windows version 6.1 was released Spring of 2001. To obtain the windows version, you had to be an Educator (Teacher, Principal, School Adminstrator) and a US Citizen.
Not wishing to go off topic, but forget Apple Works.
Sun Microsystem's Open Office has it all. I've been really impressed with it, and prefer using it even over MS Office. I look forward to the native Mac OS X version coming out.
Yes people, OPENOFFICE. Its as good as Office, and free.
Use it,love it, live it.
My only problem with it: the UI is not very responsive (java), so on light stuff, I use ABIWORD, also wonderful and free.
they ported Abiword to Windows?!
Its been ported for a year and a half. 
im sorry but office 2k3 Own3z oO.org, it is truly amazing.
Let me re-phrase my response.
There is no current offering for a Windows version of AppleWorks on Apples site.
There is no link to order a copy or download a copy.
Only updates for an older version that is not available for the general public to purchase.
Office costs way too much. Unless you're so pathetic that you have a pirated copy.
I say, use OO.

I use both, and it isn't. Slow and there are no features in it that I wish were in ABI or OO.o.

I AM NOT PATHETIC!!!
MS Office sucks from Office 97 on. It's way too slow. I don't really use an office suite. Just notepad and wordpad, for all my letter and programming needs.

Like I said, I'm not PATHETIC!!! Just because I want to see how much money I can rip off big business doesn't make me pathetic, just rebelious. Damn capitalism.
As much as i hate MS, i still don't like pirated copys.
forget M$ Office, forget OO.o , vi rules.
It wasn't aimed on anybody. I just told my opinion about warez. That is all.
Sorry wizard if i insulted you.

or im a student and got a copy for 15$........
The reason i like office 2k3 so much is cause of the dictionary and thresarus options. I use it so much, now im not suck there thinking of what word i want to use and have it bo on the tip of my tounge for like 5 minuts, instead i just type in what it meand rightclick and... hodooo majik. Not to mention office picks up tons more gramatical and spelling errors then oOo (something i need based on this post 
)
Yeah, i understand you if you really need those features. I myself use only normal writing features. So office is a bit too much for me.
