10:29am PDT - “I stood up two years ago and promised this (3.0G PowerMac), and we haven’t been able to deliver.” Steve says it’s bigger than that, though. No roadmap for the future based on PowerPC - they can’t see a future.

10:30am PDT - Intel offers not just increased performance, but reduced power consumption. Transition will be complete by WWDC ‘07.

10:31 am We face two challenges. The first, is Mac OS X on Intel. We've been maintaining Mac OS X on Intel AND PPC, secretly, for the past 5 years, just in case.

So all the devs will have to rewrite their big-endian code for little-endian hardware?

 

[150hp]

Ok, really now. Intel. Hmm. Oh well. I'm at a loss.

 

[liketom]

o my dear god NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Liketom watches his powerbook drop in value while apples stock prices dripsdown the drain

 

[AppleinJapan]

This is bull !!!!!!! @#$% buying a G5 or anything until 2008

 

[Phatpat]

Full transition in 2 years? How steve? How?!

 

[emaja]

Love the "secret double life" phrasing of OS X on Intel and PPC for 5 years.

 

[emaja]

Demo of OS X on Intel.....

 

[MrSugar]

I really at am a loss for words. I never thought this would happen, there's no way. IBM had just gotten the consoles, and the cell is amazing... I just don't get it

 

[Bass]

10:32 am This entire last half hour the keynote has been running on an Intel box running Mac OS X.

 

[eva01]

honestly who buys a Mac between now and june 06, since none of the software will work T_T

 

[yellow]

So is he demoing this on a store-bought PC or something?

Hah, Good form Steve, good form

 

[Bass]

10:33am PDT - “As a matter of fact, this system I’ve been using here…” the keynote’s been running on a P4 3.6GHz all morning”

10:34am PDT - Steve’s hopping through every app. Performance is snappy. He’s playing an H264 movie trailer for something wtih Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. “Ok, enough of that” he says after a few seconds.

I am sure it is a custom build.

10:35am PDT - “Here’s the geekout for developers”. Widgets, scripts, Java: they’ll just work. Cocoa - Xcode: small tweak, recompile. Carbon - Xcode - a few weeks of tweaking, recompile. Carbon- Metroworks: Move to XCode.

10:37am PDT - There’s a checkbox for builds: “Intel, PowerPC” that makes a cross-platform single binary.
