AppleWorks well and alive in Lion

No, i'm not mad, look at these screenshots.

Thanks to VirtualBox 4.0, and thanks to HardMac, I was able to virtualize Snow Leopard in Lion so I may run AppleWorks with my Lion iMac.

Now, I'm waiting for a new version of VMWARE FUSION to get a more powerful virtual machine.

To be the AW6 successor, iWork MUST integrate a TRUE DB, not a list organizer !

I'm wondering how many times I will have to write :

(1) never trust a vendor (AppleStore employees, enven when they are renamed Genius, are vendors)

(2) iMac delivered at this time are the same than those delivered in june before Lion delivery.

They may be used with 10.6.8 which allow to run AppleWorks.

Same thing for the late mac mini.

At this time I run an iMac 21"5 delivered at end of may.

The internal HD id a 10.6.8 one

and two of my seven external HDs are under Lion.

I hope that I will soon get the info allowing me to virtualise 10.6.8 in Paralles or in VMware so I will be able to work with AppleWorks without switching the HDs.

Surely you must mean Apple Works 6.2.9?

I would prefer to run Lion as the virtual OS, but have been told that Apple prohibits running it as a virtual OS in anything version of the OS other than itself, which seems a bit redundant to me.

Does running Snow Leopard as a virtual machine allow you to switch between Lion and Snow Leopard without rebooting?

Hello Ronda

Of course, when I wrote 6.9, it was a typo. The late AppleWorks is 6.2.9.

There is some inconsistency in VMWare.

Their description of the features available name "Snow Leopard" with no more precision letting think that it is OK for Snow Leopard client but the app offer only an entry for Snow Leopard Server.

As some users were able to unlock VMWare v3, I guess that we will get soon infos allowing us to Virtualize Snow Leopard Client under Lion with VMWare v4.

VirtualBox 4.0 is able to virtualize Snow under Lion but it use only a subset of the microprocessor and is restricted to a small window.

When an OS is virtualized, we have no need to reboot to switch from it to the hosting one and vice-versa.

It was not the problem.

I made an error. I thought that it was normal to recognize that.

Is it so surprising ? Don't confound YK with D…K.
