Panther Will Not be a 64-bit OS

Posted by pudge on from the call-your-senator dept.

rouge86 writes "The Register has an article on what Mac OS X 10.3 will be like. Mac OS X 10.3, aka Panther, will not be a 64-bit operating system, despite running on a 64-bit processor. Instead, the next major release of the Mac operating system will be a hybrid, much like version 10.2.7." You mean they didn't rewrite the entire operating system from the ground up? And that it will run on older, 32-bit, Macs? I am shocked!

    I was thinking something like "Fruity Pussy" but maybe my mind is somewhere else at the moment.

    Hello-Kitty is a good one, I can't wait to see that aqua color scheme.
