Re: Need To Think Differently

Not quite. You forget there are plenty of performance-intensive x86 MacOS applications out there. Plus the whole VM problem (Atom is NOT VM-capable, last I checked).

I think VMs will be the real problem. They weren't a thing in the 68K->PPC or the PPC->x86 transitions, but now this can be a major obstacle to transitioning away from x86.
