Apple ahead of schedule 3130
I'm not really sure this is such a big advantage. How many clbuttic apps do you still use, for instance?
It's been in the cards ever since OS X first appeared. Apple has always been telling the developers to move to Cocoa. Carbon was just a quick and dirty way to get stuff working on OS X so they could take the time they needed to port to Cocoa.
It is? Something developers who haven't bothered porting to Cocoa need to keep in mind is that if they fail to provide a x86 version of their apps, it'll only be a matter of time before somebody else does - and then they'll suddenly have compebreastion where they didn't before.
IIRC Mathemathica required less than a day of tweaking.
I only own two, and rarely use them. But consider this: I didn't own a Mac during the OS 8-OS 9 period. I bought all software for my Mac...
I disagree.
"Games I hardly ever play any more" isn't much of a burden.
You're saying some users will switch to Windows and lose *all* their apps because switching to x86 macs will make them lose *some* old apps? That doesn't make any sense.
