The transition to AS Mac OS will be pretty seamless. XCode flags up most of the code base that needs modding.
Where it might fall over for us is if we use old widgets that won't get updated for any potential MacOS code deprecations. But LC, I'm sure, will keep up-to-date (ish) as we see already. LC probably performs better than the previous Intel Mac equivalent on the newer machines.
