    well, gobe tried to go opensource, but is having trouble doing so. Also, several engineers from gobe have gone to apple.

    Did you read the story? Gobe went belly-up when Be did. A company that makes money by writing software for a particular OS generally does not last long if that OS disappears.

    There's also AppleWorks for Windows, currently only available to the education customers.

    Sorry, but the link you provided is for an updater for existing owners of AppleWorks for Windows. My point is that you cannot buy AppleWorks for Windows, as it is no longer available, at least not to Joe Public anyway. Certainly not on Apple's site, it only offers AppleWorks for OS X.
