I didn't put everything into the news, I tried to concentrate on the main with some depth and personal ARRRGGGGh  The fat code will run on PPC and Intel and Apple will support PPC still after the 2006 date. On the software side, it's a rather safe path if everything is as Steve said (easiness to recompile), on the hardware I much more in doubt, it'll restrain people to buy new hardware. It's really sad as IBM has some really fine CPUs in the Power family (G5 is a Power4 lite). The 2 important things… - nowhere it is said it'll run on x86 CPUs… - nowhere it is said it'll be "PCs" But we lack most of the important informations in fact to really know what's happening save the input needed for developers and end users, the real deal on the architecture is unknown yet.
