WWDC 2005: Monday Wrap-Up
As expected, Monday was basically a warm-up day. The three "state of the union" presentations set the themes for the conference. Xcode 2.1 is a big focus, and not just because of universal binary support. There's quite a bit of polish and general evolution in that release. More about that in the next post.I had a chance to play around with one of the Intel-based Macs last night, and it was a somewhat erie experience. The machine just went about its business. You really have to go looking to figure out that the machine is any different than a typical Mac.
Apple's goal is to make sure the consumer doesn't have to think about the processor. In some ways, this isn't all that different than G4-based Macs that use a Motorola processor versus those that use an IBM processor. Somebody walking into a retail store doesn't care about endianness or instruction sets or vector units. That's the way it should be.
