[Ti] like hell freezing over ?

[John Griffin]

Even plain ol’ end users will notice the downgrade of applications to  
the inferior platform. If you read the preamble to the new  
Development Kit, it is  plain as day that since PowerPC is being  
abandoned, so is the vision of 64-bit processing! Apple refers to  
IA-32 in the transition process but no mention of 64-bit  
architecture. Also, developers who have relied on such routines that  
are provided to AltiVec, etc. will have to dumb down their  
applications to run on Intel.

I stand firmly by my statement that developers are being called on to  
downgrade their applications so they will work on an inferior platform!
