I expect Windows development was continued longer than expected as there was still quite a significant number of education and business customers using Clarisworks for Windows into the Early 2000's. I remember using Clarisworks in the late 90's in school before they swapped to MS Office around 2001.

[@pap3rw8]

This makes sense. I also used Claris/AppleWorks in grade school in the 1990’s. By the time I was in middle school, it’d been replaced by Office X (but was still installed for accessing old files). If I had known about the Windows version, I might’ve used it at home for the sake of compatibility.

I would actually like a video about Claris, that would be very interesting!

[@sracer]

Excellent stroll down memory lane. Back in the day I owned every version of ClarisWorks and AppleWorks released for Windows. They were THAT good. Compared to the versions of MS Office and MS Works available at the time, CW and AW were able to produce some pretty advanced documents. (None of them were as good as Geoworks Ensemble, but I'm a bit biased when it comes to Geoworks. LOL)

What's funny is the logo for the Appleworks 6 cover has a fountain that I own, it's called the Waterman Carene. So as a Fountain pen enthusiast it's kind of neat to see that.

[@aaronbrown4275]

O man! Some memories. I used AppleWorks 6 on Windows for a long time. It was the only office stuff I had access to at the time.

[@ronkemperful]

I used both the original ClarisWorks for Apple (1.0 and 3.0) and ClarisWorks 2.0 for Windows 3. The Apple Claris versions were vastly superior to what was available in the PC world at that time as WordPerfect and Microsoft word processors lacked functionality or required more user tweaking to get the same results. Great video as always!

[@matecatexe]

Hello There! I like your videos, they are entertaining and well made. Keep going!

Thank you!

[@kuropixeljp]

Loving this coverage of Apple software on Windows. Thank you!

[@j0eCommodore]

ApplWorks is awesome all the modules work well with each other, the most powerful part is probably the database though it is flat file it has great interface and using spreadsheet tools you can work in table view and the drawing tools set up some amazing custom entry screens and stylish reports (like print merge certificates), and also mail merge into the word processor, etc. The drawing tool is really nice, thigh the PICT format is not compatible with much anymore, thugh you could print to PDF and the convert from there... The cwk files are cross compatible with the Mac version of AppleWorks. Claris Works 5 is the previous version of Apple Works which is version 6. Was a shame it got cancelled, Apple replaced it with iWork which retained some of the features but lost the database and other most of the coolet bits of interoperability.

[@Starpaintbrush]

I love laying down and just listening to these videos at night idk why

[@ThinkDifferentlier]

Claris deserves a full episode!

[@St0rmcrash]

When I worked IT at my old school district summer of 2009 we were still installing AppleWorks 6 on our Windows machines because some teachers used it. I think it was mostly to open older files dating back to when the school had Macintosh computers with System 6/7 and ClarisWorks back in the early to mid 90s, though I wouldn't be surprised if some old teacher was still creating new worksheets/documents in it at the time either

[@dlagunas]

I remember learning using ClarisWorks in my middle school tech class. Good times.

[@mattjw16]

This is pretty cool! I know that I say this every time, but please try to run this software on Windows 10! This is a very interesting piece of software and I am curious to see if it will still run on modern windows. Also, you should try to open the .CWK files in Apple Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on a modern Mac, iPhone, or iPad to see if they still work. This has been another great video as usual, Michael!

I vaguely recall the full version of ClarisWorks 1.0 (for Windows 3.x) was given away on a diskette with Australian PC User magazine in around 1994.

Neat! Genuinely had no idea this existed. Fun fact, Claris is still around, and unfortunately they are the people behind FileMaker. I say unfortunately because of all the pain and suffering overly complex products based on FileMaker have caused me... but that’s a story for another day.

[@ceebee23]

[@markschwartz9905]

clarris works was like a slightly watered down version of Appleworks. It was free, if my memory is correct. they were both good office applications. Simpletext was the best, for the fact that you could highlight text and have it read back to you, and it even came with about a dozen voices to choose from! For many many years after, tv shows would use simpletext, for generating "computerized voices". Till this day, there hasn't been a program that made it that easy, (and that good), of having a text editor that could read back text, without special software. Simpletext was similar to Notepad in windows. please do a video on Simpletext!

Appleworks was a fabulous program ... vs 6 was the last version and was severely criticised for reducing features compared with AW5. Apple did improve it with "updates" before ultimately pulling the plug. One of Apple's typical behaviour... sadly... BUT LibreOffice 7 reads .cwk files. I have versions 3 to 6 for Win and 1-6 for Apple in my collection.

Apple's choice of Garamond as it's corporate branding font was genius. Garamond looks so mature and professional. I prefer it over Times New Roman.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

Even Microsoft abandoned Times new Roman in modern versions of Microsoft office the modern default font is Calabli

[@drygnfyre]

@@JeffreyPiatt This was likely due to more up-to-date usability testing that concluded sans-serif is easier to read on screen, while serif is generally better when printed. And given more and more material is digital, it made sense to make the change. But they introduced numerous new fonts in addition to Calibri, I believe Cambria was the serif counterpart.

[@basic086]

4:35 I remember this quicktime garbage nightmare for Windows which ran like dog shit and was required for some games/softwares which used their codecs. Used to crash/slow down my Windows install all the time, I truly don't miss it. And it's not cool at all :)

[@lwvmobile]

I really am trying to figure out what market Apple was going after with the Windows version. I wouldn't have been the people using full blown Microsoft Office, and if you already had (it came preloaded with tons of computers) Microsoft Works, then you probably wouldn't use this either.

[@radiosaido66]

It's pretty similar to how some Macs nowadays can have Microsoft Office installed.

[@zoomosis]

Microsoft Works used a different code base to Office. It had wordproc/spreadsheet/database all in the one program, just like ClarisWorks, and not like the separate Word/Excel/Access apps. Also MS Works used its own native file format. It originally began as an office suite for DOS.
