Can we assume this was not an accidental omission?
This is a pretty major change from last year - Carbon applications
will now always be 32-bit?
Although there will be no real benefit to 64-bit for most
applications, in marketing terms it will quickly become the new
Universal.
No, it won't, because it's not "Universal", it's "totally niche".
The people who need 64-bit are probably already doing it without
Cocoa.
I'm one of the niche people who need 64-bit - we deal with 200+Gb
images all day. We're using a cross-platform toolkit to run on Mac,
Windows and Linux, The Mac stuff is all Carbon-based and this is
going to be a real blow and will probably spell the end for our
product on the Mac. The other platforms already have 64 bit versions
- we've just been waiting for 64 bit support on the Mac. I suspect
the Mac version of our app is probably just going to fade away.
There's no chance we're going to switch toolkits.
