Before posting, I searched for "license" and found little of relevance - please post a link if I missed something. I'm NOT talking about OS X on Intel here, I've seen loads of threads about that. It's frustrating that people have jumped in here without properly reading my post, but such is...

When it was done - it was done too late: at that point MacOS was, at best, as good as the equivalent M$ OS, and arguably inferior. In the mid 80s when MacOS was far superior to MSDOS, the opportunity was missed. My point really is that now we have OS X, the Mac again has a (far) superior OS to...

Who said anything about porting OS X to PCs?

OS X is great, the best OS there is in my opinion. But although some PC users are moving over, the market is still PC dominated, and shows little sign of changing significantly, despite Apple's nice hardware. I see a parallel to the mid 80s - Apple had by far the best OS, but chose not to...

Personally, I didn't use full screen mode in IE all that much - but when I wanted to get stuck in to reading a long article or forum thread for example (i.e. didn't need "access" to other browser windows or apps), it was very nice to see just what I was concentrating on. (A nice extension to...

Anyone else think this is a desirable feature, especially for browsers? Or is it only something that an ex-Windows user would want? On my 12.1 iBook I'd love to have the full screen for my browsing, both to maximise space and also to remove "distractions" like the menu/title/status/dock etc. Andy

The international 6.1.2 updater does not include the OS X preview, which seems a bit harsh. I understand there might be a "hack" to allow the US updater to be used on an international 6.0.4 - anybody know what this is? I'm desperate to use Appleworks under OS X... Thanks, Andy

Spoke slightly too soon - the international updater does work, and I've now got 6.1.2, but I don't appear to have the OSX preview, i.e. I still have the "classic" look and feel...? Any ideas? Should the OSX version show up in the OSX Applications folder after the install? Or does it just...

... found the answer myself - I didn't even know that http://www.apple.com/uk/ existed, but it does, and the international version of the 6.1.2 updater is on there (in the software section, can't give exact URL as it's a wierd database query type thing). Andy

Anybody know an answer to this? I have the UK English version of Appleworks 6.04 and the 6.1.2 updater won't work. Do we brits just have to put up with the fact that the preview is for Americans only?!? (Anybody know when the release version of AW for OSX is out?) Thanks, Andy
