AppleOffice?
Seeing how Appleworks scripts were recently removed from the upcoming Automator App for Tiger, do you think Apple is shelving the 'Works program to fry bigger fishies such as MS Office (which is an obvious slap in the face to Apple by MS - bloated code, features left out of the Mac version - not to mention an ad campaign that makes it look like Macs cannot get anything done without the help of the "PC world"). By the way, did you know that the biggest security vulnerability this year came as a result of having Excel 2004 installed?
Any thoughts?
I for one would welcome this. OpenOffice already can read and write just about any type of Office file.
An AppleOffice app would certainly blow the doors off of Open (maybe even borrowing some tech to keep standards? and more than likely supercede MS's offering on the PC as well.
Would you buy it?
Sounds like Appleworks is gone. Sounds like MS stinks. Sounds like Apples Office-killer is coming.
