I have noticed the software in the new iMac is a little lacking compared to the iMac G5:

iMac (Core Duo)

Included software
iMac comes with an incredible bundle of Universal applications that run on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs:

• iLife ’06
• iWork ’06 30-day trial
• Front Row
• Photo Booth
• Big Bang Board Games

iMac G5

More software
In addition, the iMac G5 comes with an incredible bundle of software:

• iLife ’05, which includes the latest versions of iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD and GarageBand
• Front Row
• Photo Booth
• iWork ‘05 30-day trial
• AppleWorks
• 2006 World Book
• Nanosaur 2
• Marble Blast Gold

No bloody Appleworks! No encyclopaedia! Nanosaur 2 and Marble Blast Gold sound a lot better than Big Bang Board Games!

What's going on? Have Apple dropped these apps cause there PowerPC? Will they run under Rosetta? Is this the death of Appleworks?

My my!
