Alert: computer geeky post to follow

Shooting from the hip, I don’t see a lot of potential bad from this. My initial concern when I first heard the escalated rumors was software recompiling. After watching the Keynote Address from Apple’s WWDC, recompiling of apps looks like it’s going to be fairly easy for the majority of software makers. Also, support for older machines and apps looks good. The potential I see in all this is a speed increase in the laptop offerings from Apple. We haven’t seen a G5 powerbook because of heat issues. This could potentially clear that up.

When all is said and done, I like Apple because they make both the hardware and OS. My frustration with Windows when it comes to high end audio (and a lot of other things) has been because of driver conflicts with hardware that has to conform to Windows, not hardware that was designed in synthesis with an OS.

The PowerPC processors were from IBM, the new ones will be from Intel; the Apple hardware/software synthesis is still the same and OS X will still be the same and presumably Logic will still be the same. If it brings faster and cooler mobile computing, I’m for it.
