Re: Will Java SE6 have 32-bit version?

Personally, my reading between the lines has convinced me that (IMO) there will be NO 32-bit version of Java 6 *ever*. My MacBook Pro (yes, core duo, not core 2) will never run it. Ditto for the many thousands of others out there in the same boat. Which of course means that deployment of Java 6 apps "in the main" will be at least another year, perhaps two or even more (given habits by most corporations and users for EOL current hardware) down the road, unless we go the Soy Latte route. And even if SL is complete and *works perfectly*, there is a natural antithesis to the 'OSX way' to deploy a Java different than the one that Apple works so hard at to make a seamless part of the OS.

Summary: it is very difficult to swallow having to cough up another ~$4000 so soon for me personally. It is even more difficult to recognize that the ability for me to realistically use Java 6 on OSX is constrained by hardware turnover in the Mac community.

I did exactly that over a month ago (Problem ID: 5657161, State: Open, Originated Date: 19-Dec-2007 07:38 PM), and have yet to hear anything
back from Apple...
