I was going to stay out of the flames, but seeing the
competition mentioned :-) ...
Apple ran Word 4 under system 7.0 as a sample program
at the Worldwide Developer's Conference and we didn't 
have any problems.  Excel wouldn't run at the time 
because of a bug in the system that has since been fixed.
I don't think 4.0b will have any problems with System 7.
