Being condescending doesn't put your point across very well nor does it educate. Being knowledgeable doesn't mean that everything you say are truthful. Educated speculations may be more reliable than pure speculations, but it's still speculations. There are many really good programmers that acknowledge the problem space Chris touched upon and that still don't agree with what he's claiming regarding OS X on Intel. I think Chris' later posts have clarified his position, but nevertheless what he's saying isn't the final gospel. I still ask (and will do some research later) who else among the Apple developer community takes the same position as Chris regarding the magnitude of the problems he describes. Enough metatalk now.
