Owners of Microsoft Works 7, Works Suite 2004 and 2005 are entitled to a free upgrade to Works 8.5 (2006). Apparently, there is some security flaw in Works 7 and 7.5 (2004/2005).

The OEM package stills comes with a lot of manufacturers. I know it's an option in Dell's config, and it's pretty well standard on eMachines.

I'll have to check my spare machine and see what version is on there :thumbsup:

Works has become a good answer to the Application Bloat affecting Office 2000 and higher (especially XP/2002 and 2003), for which a large majority of home and SOHO users have little or no need.

After installing the update over Works Suite 2004 (Works 7), this may be a full version install. It prompted me to uninstall the previous version first.

If you prefer the Works Word Processor instead of Microsoft Word, just install the Works 8 update, not the Works Suite Add-in for MS Word.

You have Works 7.0? I may have been wrong to say that Works 7.0 is supported.

Works 7.0 is included with Works Suite 2004, so I assumed the standalone version of Works 7.0 would upgrade, too.
