Perhaps this is a naive question, but if there is something called "Virtual PC" (I have had no occasion to need it, so have no experience),
I think Virtual PC will thrive on MacIntels. Why wouldn't it? It allows Mac users to run Win apps (as it does today), but potentially at native speed. Plus, it allows Billy to sell Win licenses to Mac users. Why won't it thrive?
is it so unlikely that something will be created that will allow apps written using CodeWarrior language to run on the new machines?
The only source for such a solution might be Apple itself, if it is serious about bringing the world to XCode. So far I have not heard of an easy migration path, though. Personally, I'm looking for leadership from MM on this. The direction they take, and how successful they are will determine what I do.
In any case, the endian issue may turn out to be the biggest one of all. All of the prior paradigm shifts (68K->PPC->OSX) retained big endianness, but Intel is little endian. Endian problems are difficult to find, so I expect the Mac community to be plagued by endian bugs for years.
