- 100 Native PowerPC Applications Shipping for Apple's Power Macintosh
-
- Adobe, Aldus, Claris, WordPerfect Among Dozens of Leading Software
- Vendors Shipping New Versions of Products Optimized for New RISC-
- based Macintosh Computers
-
- CUPERTINO, California--June 16, 1994--Apple Computer, Inc. today
- announced that 100 software application programs developed
- specifically for its new Power Macintosh family of personal
- computers are now shipping. These applications--often referred to as
- "native" applications--take advantage of the industry-leading power
- of the Power Macintosh systems and are growing in number
- impressively. They join thousands of Macintosh and MS-DOS
- applications that run unaltered on the new systems, introduced just
- three months ago.
- The new applications represent a diverse range of popular software
- categories including publishing, general business and productivity,
- education, multimedia, technical markets and entertainment. Vendors
- shipping new applications include Adobe Systems' popular Adobe
- Illustrator product, Aldus Corporation's PageMaker and FreeHand
- programs, Claris Corporation's ClarisWorks and Claris Impact, and
- WordPerfect Corporation's WordPerfect. (See attached list of all
- currently shipping products).
- "With more than one hundred native applications shipping in less
- than 100 days, we are off to a strong start in garnering worldwide
- developer support," said Guerrino De Luca, vice president marketing
- for the AppleSoft division. "With a wide array of exceptional
- applications on-base today and even more in the on-deck circle, we're
- providing Macintosh--and MS-DOS customers--with an increasingly
- compelling reason to sign up with Power Macintosh."
- "The Power Macintosh platform has allowed us to supercharge our
- popular graphics programs such as Adobe Illustrator, and deliver
- localized native versions around the globe," said John Kunze,
- director product marketing for Adobe's Application Products Division.
- "The resulting solutions of Apple's Power Mac and Adobe's native
- software brings our mutual customers incredible graphics
- performance."
- Apple expects the majority of mainstream Macintosh
- applications--such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Adobe
- Dimensions, Adobe Type Manager, Claris MacWrite Pro, Microsoft Excel,
- Microsoft Word, and Quark XPress--to be available in native mode by
- late summer. By Fall 1994, Apple expects hundreds more applications
- to join the growing roster of new native Power Macintosh applications.
- Worldwide developer support and enthusiasm for Power Macintosh remains
- strong; over 22 native applications, for instance, have been
- developed in Japan alone. Each week, new developers from other
- platforms are calling Apple to find out how to port applications to
- the Power Macintosh and join the Macintosh family.
- To make the transition easy for Macintosh customers, the majority
- of software vendors are offering very low-priced or even free upgrade
- programs from their 680x0 version software to native products for
- Power Macintosh systems. The programs allow customers to purchase
- Power Macintosh computers and 68K applications today with the
- assurance of easily migrating to native Power Macintosh versions of
- the software as soon as they become available.
- Power Macintosh is the next-generation of Macintosh personal
- computers based on PowerPC , a new RISC-based microprocessor family
- developed by Apple , IBM and Motorola. Power Macintosh computers
- bring new levels of performance and functionality to personal
- computing at low prices. Apple plans to offer a full line of Power
- Macintosh products from entry-level to high-end systems and many
- upgrade paths for 680x0-based Macintosh customers.
- Headquartered in Cupertino, CA, Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)
- develops, manufactures, and markets personal computers, servers and
- personal interactive electronic systems for use in business,
