[MacDV] Re: MAC OS X Panther?

[Thubten Kunga]

I don't see the 970 and panther as fundamentally changing the way Macs 
work. If anything it's an elegant evolution that will not require new 
application software to work — only new software to work fastest. 
Perhaps there will sometimes need to be Panther compatible updates for 
certain software to work at all. But generally I think what we have now 
will work with Panther. This is of course just idle speculation on my 
part. But from what I've read of Panther and the 970 processor so far, 
I would expect this to be the case. I don't anticipate "increasingly 
expensive upgrades" from anyone.
