OK, so it's all true...OSX on Intel. A few questions: 1) Are Apple completely dropping PowerPC in the medium-to-long term, or planning to use both and let the CPU manufacturers battle it out while playing pick-and-choose?
2) Am I the only one a bit concerned about Apple trying to force everyone to use Xcode and giving Metroworks/CodeWarrior a hard time? As a Windows developer I know what it's like to be forced into using Visual Studio as the competing IDEs (in our case Watcom) got frozen out. It set the company I worked for back about 6 months. Being a SuperCard user I appreciate the hard work the developers must have had keeping up with Apple as it changed things with every version of OSX - now they're going to have to build universal binaries and spend more resources testing those. 3) Any chance people will stop buying PowerPCs for the next 12-18 months and I can pick one up reallly, really cheap? ;-) It all smacks of less and less choice/competition. Let's hope it doesn't mean less innovation. My head says it's good thinking by Jobs and Co. My heart says not....but I've always been a bit too nostalgic/emotional when it comes to computers....hey, I'm a geek.
