The big problem we face is altivec, it'll need work from editors, and it means $$$ upgrades AGAIN in the end for us. And it's a bore. I'm rather confident on the hardware (given the hints about the forthcoming Intel CPU) even if I think that having Power5/6 would have been great, but it's not a safe road unfortunately. Now lets see a few things… - Winsh... will run most possibly, it can be useful even for us (need samplitude ?) - on the game prospect, for the same reasons, it's not sure games will be brought to mac… - No one will be able to say macs are crap because we'll run on similar platforms. - It's an opportunity to bring more switchers if the computers are affordable… they could have the best of both worlds. - Hey, we'll have computers in mactel and PPC… it does mean also, if IBM or Fresscale comes with a marvel, nothing impeach Jobs to tell us: "hey, just one more thing, PPC is not dead" And apple will be on both intel and PPC still (and why not AMD one day and either way we'll be safe for the future. On that part Jobs is keeping options open. The move is necessary to bring us more power and certainly cheaper computer (hope hope), but as there's a transition, it will keep opportunities open and we have a trojan horse to invade wintel (bwahahaaa). I'm sure Steve didn't say everything. He keeps doors open, and he's free of ANY founder or at least he'll be fast. We move to a multiplatform OS, it is what it means, even if the hardware is specific. if the aim is to have a 20% market share, it makes sense. - next year will be a great time to have G5 nodes Now, please, no Intel stickers on our mactel, it's just plain UGLY.
