I think he means that the only Apple platform that they will support will be OS X. Which makes sense because by the time the release their game the Transition to Mac OS X should have begun. So what support the old system that is being phased out?
I just got a one of Apple's beautiful flat screen digital displays for xmas (Mmmm Still waiting for the G4 to show up. Just ordered it the other day), but I can't wait to play around with OS X. I have been using OS X Server and I run a Darwin Beginners Guide and the new OS X looks incredible! A beautiful GUI on great hardware with a modern OS what more could you ask for
Ok I can see every one here is for OS. Maybe I just don't get it, so maybe some of you can show me the light. A lot of you seem to be saying that you do OS for recognition so that some company can see your work and hire you for your skills. Well what if you don't want to work for some company. What if you want to start a company and earn money from your software and work for your self? I guess what I am asking is. Is it possible to make money with an OS product? I feel that if I am going to put a lot of work into a product that a lot of people are going to use I should be able to make money off of it. I like the idea of releasing the source so others can learn, but I can't just say well here is my product, everyone can have it for free. It just seems to me like it is not possible for someone to support themselves by programming with the OS model. Maybe there is something that I am just totally missing about OS and I am sure that someone will set me straight. But then again. That is exactally why I am writing this message. I want to know. I am curious.
