MacFixit.com is reporting that SystemWorks 2.0 (the Symantec package that includes Retrospect 5.0 yes 5.0 that includes OS X support and Norton Utilities 7.0 and Norton AntiVirus 8.0) is shipping. They also say that all other Symantec utilities that are built for OS X are shipping as well, which implies that Norton Utilities 7.0 and Norton AntiVirus 8.0 are shipping.
This is more good news for OS X! Now we have antivirus software and (finally) a GOOD piece of disk utility software that is built for OS X (sorry Drive 10, you just don't cut it). I hope Norton Utilities 7.0 includes Speed Disk 7.0 that is also built for OS X.
One interesting note abount SystemWorks 2.0 -- it includes a special version of Alsoft's DiskWarrior. What the! Bundling a competing application with your own? That's a tactic of which I've never heard before. It's just the "Recovery Edition", so it's not the full verison of DiskWarrior, but it's a nice addition to the box anyway. It's not clear whether this version is OS X native or not, but I would assume it is (which means the OS X version of DiskWarrior is on the way!).
