Version 5 added a presentation package which was very easy to use but unfortunately can't read or write PPTs. (I predict PPT compatibility will be the last battleground of Office-alternatives.) Latest version is Appleworks 6.2.2 - So far I think Mac-only. Under OS X it seriously rocks (Starts up fast and reads/writes Word&Excel files) and does everything I need for my work.

It started on BeOS and now there is a Windows version, with a Linux version to come. I've played with the previous BeOS version. It looked pretty good for the basics. It could do things like arbitrarily rotated embedded translucent spreadsheets in WP documents for what its worth. -- Chris Altmann
