Is there any info out if Apple will be releasing a new Universal
Binary version? Will it be an upgrade or a rewrite?
When Steve Jobs announced iWork '05 at Macworld in Jan '05 he clearly
stated that iWork '05 was to be the successor to AppleWorks and their
website and the presentations they had on ASW all stated this fact.
I doubt we'll see any major update to AppleWorks - certainly not an
Intel-Native version and maybe only one more minor bug fix, if that
I'd go one step further and say that there won't even be a minor bug
fix release of AppleWorks.
Version 6 was released in 2000, and 6.2.9 was released April 2003.
Given AppleWorks has had glaring bugs remain unfixed in the 3 years
since 6.2.9 was released, and that it is being replaced, I believe it
is extremely unlikely we'll see another release.
