[X4U] Apple dumping OSX....

[Kunga]

John blows smoke for a living. No way is Apple dumping OS X. Your  
idea that bvecause Adobe won't go Universal until next year as a  
"problem" is amusing. I just bought a Quad like many professionals  
are doing right now. And there is no way that the G5 is going to be  
instantly made obsolete by the introduction of Intel PowerMacs before  
about 2017 - if then - since they will not be introduced until almost  
the end of 2006. Now this may sound a bit of a long term projection.  
But I have to tell you that there is no way the printing business is  
going to dump all their G5's overnight.

It's the video business that needs more power - where I am - and it  
won't come too soon. I want at least 8 CPUs in the form of TWO 4-core  
processors in my first Intel MacPro next year. I think They should be  
ready by next Spring.

I bought the Quad to crush video at 2x real time vs 4x on the Dual  
2.5 GHz G5 I just sold and it did not disappoint. But what we really  
need is power enough to crush video at .1 x real time or faster.

Dual 2.5 crushes 40 minute HDTV to iPod in 2.5 hours
Quad 2.5 crushes 40 minute HDTV to iPod in 1.25 hours

So you see there is a lot of room for improvement. Also hope for help  
from Leopard and QT 8 for this soon-to-be antique Quad. It really is  
pathetic. And this is state of the art.

Not sure if this article has made the complete rounds, I know that  
Dvorak is a long time Apple hater, but there has to be some fire to  
this smoke? What has me most concerned is Adobe's decision to  
postpone Intel version of their Apps until 2007. That kills the  
Printing and Graphic industries in one stroke.
