Binary.......I'd imagine Logic is going to Universal around the time Final Cut
Pro does...............
That wasn't the point, though. There was a lack of commitment, noone
expected them to go Universal Binary when the first IntelMac came out.
The statement from MakeMusic (not the one from yesterday, but the one
made to the list and the forums several months ago) was completely
uncommital. Anyone can say "we are looking into the possiblity", it's a
long way from there to "we are doing it".
I must admit that the latest statement actually surprised me positivly,
I was definitely not expecting Universal Binary for 2k7, after the
experience with the OS X version. Which took at least one year too long.
There is, naturally, one other aspect of all this, which is, by
definition, not MakeMusic's fault: We will have to say good-bye to any
Finale version before 2k4 on the Mac for good. It looks unlikely that we
will be able to run any non-OSX version on any Intel Mac. I don't have
that much of a problem with this, but I do know that some people keep
all their old versions around to be able to easily print and revise
earlier Finale documents. It's time to get them all updated.
