Microsoft role edit
It would not surprise me in the least if Microsoft was behind the interment of WriteNow, wanting to remove competition for Word. Robert P. O'Shea 17:25, 3 December 2004 via AlainV
[correction] Microsoft out-spent, out-marketed, and ultimately out-lasted T/Maker and subsequent WriteNow owners/publishers. Like almost every other desktop application, Microsoft just won in the marketplace.
Power PC edit
I had always figured that the disappearance of WriteNow was due to its being written in 680x0 assembly. Once Apple made the move to PowerPC, moving it to the then-new architecture would have meant a complete rewrite. -- Hawaiian717 00:04, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Character styles edit
WriteNow is the first word processor I know of to implement stylesheet-type character styles. The other advanced word processors of its day that I used had paragraph styles, but character styling was done on a one-off basis. Global character styles were a big advance because they allowed global updating.
Does anyone know if there were any prior examples of modern character styles, on the Mac or elsewhere?

Emulation edit
Mac OS 9 is not emulated in Mac OS X's Classic mode. It is Mac OS 9! Lavenderbunny (talk) 08:03, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
