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!

    Guess he doesn't have a clue, either. It's just that he's spent the last two months bad-mouthing Microsoft for not having a 64-bit version of Windows ready, and now it turns out Apple doesn't have a 64-bit OS either. So all of a sudden, it's not an issue any more (and in fact he's trying to pass it off as an advantage, LOL). Typical Mac iDiot.

    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.
