steve jobs announced today that all apple computers will use the intel chip by 2006.
for the past 5 years every copy of OS X has compiled to run on both powerpc and intel chips. Jobs says developing apps to run on Intel Macs is easy…there’s a checkbox in the developer tools that “makes a cross-platform single binary”. Demo of Mathematica running on an Intel Mac from a guy from Wolfram…it only took them two days to port it to Intel.
