    Filemaker will be debuting its new version at MWSF.

    As long as it has a modern architecture that allows Mac users to work with AB and iCal, I think it'll be okay.



    Adopting Cocoa outright would be problematic for Filemaker, since it has a Windows version.

    I expect that the suite will get a newfangled drawing app, along with a bundle that includes Bento.



    Hopefully Numbers will get an easy way to add/delete multiple rows, which is a serious and silly omission.



    OpenOffice is just MS Office for free, still garbage.

    I'll be interested in seeing what kind of changes Filemaker 10 brings.



    I really wish Bento would have just become an iWork component. They should have just included Bento and made the price $99. To me it would have been worth it and I wouldn't have to worry about two separate licenses.



    Maybe I'll get lucky and we'll see a Vector based drawing program hit with some web enabled features.



    iWork Extreme:



    Keynote

    Pages

    Numbers

    Bento

    Easel (Drawing/Painting)



    = Apple domination

    I will have to try Easel.



    Pages is ridiculously fast. It is like Word running on a Cray III.
