CPressland Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 TUAW has received some information that suggests Apple may be working to seed developers with an early build of Mac OS X 10.6 at this year's WWDC. 10.6 will not include any new significant features from 10.5; instead, Apple is focusing solely on "stability and security."We have also learned that OS X 10.6 may go gold master by December 2008 in an effort to start shipping it in January '09 at Macworld Expo. Mac OS X 10.6 will be a milestone release for Apple, as it will leave the PowerPC behind: a fully 64-bit clean, Intel-only Mac OS X. This information makes us wonder about universal applications -- how much longer will they exist? With Apple leaving pre-Intel Macs behind before the end of the decade, this could mark the end of the Intel transition, as Apple (and presumably many third-party developers) will be focusing only on the newer Mac architecture. Of course, this leaves open a critical question -- what will this new OS version be codenamed? We've got our hunches, but we can't leave you out of the guessing game. http://www.tuaw.com/2008/06/03/rumor-mac-o...but-at-wwdc-08/ Ok, seams logical, Moving away from PPC. What do you think?

Hurmoth Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Considering that this is supposedly going to be announced at WWDC and someone has already posted this in there, I'm going to close this thread. https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589454832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
