oh yeah ... word on the street is that Apple has an office alternative in the works. It's gonna be called iWorks. Here more detatils from Think Secret:
"if you're waiting for AppleWorks 7, look instead for iWorks, coming from Apple later this year. Sources said that iWorks will consist of a word processing application tentatively called "Document," Apple's Keynote presentation software, a spreadsheet application, and a database app. Unlike AppleWorks 6's integrated format, iWorks' apps will be separate programs but connected, much like Apple's iLife."
