Anyone catch the note on ThinkSecret where they saidFurther, sources have learned that Apple is currently planning to pull all software from store shelves in July that isn't available in Universal Binary format. The policy is presumably designed to improve customer experience with new Intel-based Macs, as native Universal Binaries perform considerably better than PowerPC software running under Rosetta on Apple's newest systems.Of course MS and Adobe will likely escape this but it's not good news for anyone with products in an Apple store if it's true
Yeah, I haven't heard anything official about this yet. I'm going to assume it isn't true as it doesn't make any sense... I don't think very many apps in boxes are Universal right now at all (other than a small collection of Apple apps)
I mean, heck, of the top CD burning software there's only one that's currently a Universal Binary... and the retail incarnation of it hasn't been updated to the UB version yet. So there wouldn't be any CD burning apps at all on Apple stores if this happened. And I'd wager to say most other applications "types" are the same way.
And the next 3 months isn't a lot of time to get the current inventory pushed through and a new printing done...
It could be true of the smaller Apple stores I suppose... many don't have much of a software library anyway.
