He says it hard to install other packages onto Mandrake…. Linspire does not include a DVD player… hmmm does it not have Mplayer included ? “SuSE Linux and Mandrakelinux also had confusing procedures to set up their email programs. He touched on directory structure, but simply said Linux is under the / directory, and left it at that… No mention that the users personal files are in /home and if needed /home can be on a separate partition. Mandrake can resize NTFS partitions, and as far as I can remember, so can Linspire. The whole paragragh about partitions is just misleading. A 3rd party codec is needed and a player. Install QuickTime 6 for Windows ( Download from here)ģ.I don’t know where to start on this one…. Was able to install AppleWorks 6 for Windows using CrossOver 16 for Mac. Even so, what I suggest may prove to a lifesaver for a few users who are in a predicament where they need to access old AppleWorks 6 documents on their Mac that does not have native support for these files.

My copy of Windows XP was already configured with QuickTime 7, so I was successful in getting AppleWorks 6 to install and open on my desktop.īecause Microsoft dropped technical support for Windows XP years ago and most people by now will have taken the necessary step to upgrade their desktop operating system to Windows 8 or later, this solution will likely not be readily available to them. I noticed that the Windows installer checks to see whether a old version of QuickTime is installed.

Because AppleWorks 6 is a 32-bit app, I decided to see if I could install it using my Windows XP Pro virtual machine running under Parallels Desktop 15.
Moreover, enterprising souls on the Internet have made the Windows version of AppleWorks 6 available for download.ĭuring my testing phase, I was unable to install AppleWorks 6 for Windows using standard Wine-based emulators such as CrossOver for Mac or PlayOnLinux.

However, I can run Microsoft Windows applications using emulators such as Parallels Desktop 15, and Apple just happened to have developed a Windows version of AppleWorks 6, and no software key is required. Using a MacBook Pro running a more modern macOS (Sierra 10.12), I obviously could not install and run AppleWorks 6 for Mac.
Recently, I was given a USB flash drive that contains dozens of AppleWorks 6 documents and was asked whether their data could be salvaged and read. Mac users officially lost the ability to run AppleWorks 6 natively when Apple released macOS 10.7 (“Lion”) and began migrating new and existing customers over to Intel-powered computers. In August 2007 AppleWorks 6 achieved “end of life” status when Apple declared that it would no longer sell the software. Over time, AppleWorks evolved and was ported over to the different CPUs and operating systems that Apple developed and popularized. Starting out in its earliest incarnation as one of the first integrated office suites that ran under the old Apple II computers back in the mid-1980s, AppleWorks enabled Mac users to create a variety of documents, such as word processing files and spreadsheets. We are confronted with the fact that software applications that we once relied upon for our daily work are abandoned by their developers who sometimes don’t offer a reasonable or viable alternative.ĪppleWorks 6 for Mac is a prime example. Over time, digital data that we created years ago becomes increasingly more difficult to access due to technological changes and advancements.
