64-bit kernal & Rosetta?

[davidlv]

Now that Macs are starting to come with 64-bit kernal enabled by default (new 2010 Mac Pro, Mac Mini Server) how does that affect running applications that need Rosetta, such as MS Office 2004?

They won't work. No 32-bit applications wil work.

They won't work. No 32-bit applications wil work.

Where did you get that nonsense from?

My iMac i5 is configured to boot with the 64-Bit kernel and Rosetta apps run just fine. (Although I have to admit that I only have two of them installed: Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Midnight Mansion.)

The 64-bit kernel can run 32-bit threads without any problem.
