John, take a deep breath. As Shawn already mentioned, the vast majority of developers here at WWDC are positive about this move. There are a lot of questions, of course. There are also a lot of computers here at WWDC for us to try out our apps for free, and tons of Apple engineers for us to talk with. Select and Premier ADC members also get access to Apple's compatibility labs and engineers after the conference is over. It's not the end of the world. I've tried out the Intel PowerMacs, and they just work. Apple wants this to be as seamless as possible, and all signs indicate that this has been very well thought-out.
