It’s day two here at Moscone, and there is still a huge buzz from yesterday. You can’t see the new Intel machines for the people. The lines are usually 4 or 5 deep, just to put your hands on one! If that is any indication, they are going to sell a lot of these new machines.
We are very busy at our booth. Lot’s of feature requests, and a surprising amount of praise. Everyone wants to know when Express will be “Intel Ready”. If you believe Apple, most Cocoa applications are just a checkbox away from a Unviersal Binary. That’s not necessarily the case. For us, the Classic file converter will need some work to make it usable on the new machines, for example. This may take a long time, or it may not take any time at all.
Once we release Express 2.6, we will begin work on the Intel compatible Express. I don’t have a timetable for its release, but I can say that it will be a free upgrade.
And for you brave early Intel Macintosh adopters, we salute you!
