Hello fellow survivors.
I couldn't sleep tonight, thinking about what was said @ the wwdc keynote regarding the "Switch".
I kept wondering : Apple has commited huge efforts in porting OSX's Kernel and BSD substsystems to a 64bits architecture, but... Intel's previous forrays into 64bits was kind of... a gigantic failure, only AMD was able to create a good 64bits x86.
Now, what lies ahead? Will the switch mean we'll all go back to 32bits processors running a 64bits kernel?
Gosh, don't even get me started on the drivers if Macintel machines ever accept stock pci-x cards...
