It's been my intention for the last few years that once I get my degree, on my next big computer upgrade - it all goes over to Mac. Right now I'm half PC half Mac and I've been more impressed with the Mac end of my home network (minus a few details). But, I've been hearing some troubling things over this new Intel-Mac and backwards compatability. Further, developers having to learn a whole new SDK to build for the new Mac might slow up the release of fully compatable upgrades. If Rosetta is anything like the Java runtime engine, that would not be a good statement for it. If it is like Virtual PC, that would be even worse. It may not be until Carrara 7 and Poser 8 that we get a Mac version that is again even even to the power of the PC version on a comparable system... Plus, now that Apple is going the Intel route, I worry that it might mean future Apples are built by the same 'lowest bidder' process that packaged PCs are - meaning identically spec'd Apples could be completely different in quality of parts and performance.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
