That is the best, most concise argument so far. But that was a much
quicker transition than from 9 > X.
Why? Lots of people found great problems with 68k>PPC, and waited for
most bugs to be ironed out before they jumped 9>X. And that's not
just users, but the big software houses too, pretty much like at the
moment. The big guys are taking their own time, leaving all the
musthaves to do the proving.
So it depends on your market. People that genuinely earn their living
on a piece of software don't jump on the latest thing. The people
with more money than sense do that.

could run 68K apps under emulation. Most stuff worked fine, just
slower. But there still was the perception that a native PPC app
was "better". And in marketing, perception is everything.

the role, and the "father of the Mac": "In 1979, I specified a long
list that covered most of the things we would do with it [the Mac]
though I missed four major uses: gambling, pornography, sending spam
and spreading viruses."
