It looks like it is now official, folks.

I wonder if Intel is going to do something about it's HOT....Pentium processors. Apparently Apple didn't like the Heat Output of the PowerPC for it's laptops....

I think there are some real mysteries in this move....things happening that are not yet apparent!

Many developers reading this news may be thinking that they'll have to go through the same woes they had to in order to get their Mac OS 9 applications "Carbonized" to run on Mac OS X. Jobs assured the crowd that this isn't like that at all. To demonstrated, he brought on stage Theo Gray, co founder of Mathematica maker Wolfram Research.

Gray said that Mathematica is encumbered by "ancient code that hasn't been changed since the Reagan administration," but despite that, it only took about two hours to get Mathematica's Mac OS X code running on an Intel-bsaed Mac. "We're talking about twenty lines of source code out of millions, from a dead cold start. This is nothing like Carbonizing. It's prety good when the biggest problem from your port is to figure out what to do with the rest of your weekend."

Thank God. This is what I was most worried about. If it's this easy to convert, then Motorola/IBM/Freescale can go screw. If you can't get the job done, we'll go with someone who can.
