I agree that Apple needs to look ahead and plan for the future. However, I don't think they should abandon the G5 so readily. Supposedly compiling Universal Builds is as simple as clicking a check box in Xcode. Not being a developer, I don't know if this is actually true or not. However, if it is, it requires basically zero effort to compile a binary that will run on Intel or PPC. Granted the extra code will take up more space, but that doesn't seem sufficient reason to leave all of us G5 owners in the dust. Or is Mr. Jobs trying to get us to buy shiny new Mac Pros?
