Sorry Neil, I left out "Intel" ... Kind will show "Intel", "Universal", "PowerPC".


Very educational Ronni !

There are also  Native and Classic !

On  my list I have just
1 x intel
heaps of Universal
a lot of PPC
and a few Native plus
a few Classic .

Looks like I am staying with PPC for a while yet .

Hi Neil,

I don't know of any trick other than checking in System Profiler > Software - Applications. In the Kind column. It lists all your applications kind as Universal or PowerPC
.
Cheers,

Hi Ronni,

That's got me thinking - I have no idea which of my applications are written
for Intel and which might be PPC applications running under Rosetta!

Out of interest, do you know any trick to scan the applications folder and
list which applications are Intel or PPC?


Cheers


Neil

Hi Merv,

It's still included at the moment, so assuming that this option
carries through to the production release, then, yes, Rosetta will
still be available.

Cheers,

Thanks Ronni - that is reassuring.

Rosetta is still there in the latest build of 10.6, but it's not
installed by default.
You must add it in Customize Options.

Cheers,
Ronni

Does this mean that PPC applications will not work under Snow

Get used to it Philip.  The last PPC-based Mac rolled off the
production line years ago now, and I don't think Apple have any
inclination of returning to PPC.  The sooner they can force
people to go Intel, the more likely we are going to see a much
slimmer OS X without all the PPC baggage.

Not only that, but some SL features will only be available if you
have the very latest graphics processors
