I will try to explain better: We currently have a lot of customers with ppc machines, and ppc binaries. Sometime next year they might start buying i386 machines. On their LAN they will now have a mix of ppc and i386 machines, and possibly a mix of ppc and UB/native versions of our applications.

What I want to avoid is that a user with a i386 machine will launch one of our old ppc applications. We will make either UB or native applications available, and I would like to be able to prevent these users from running one of the old ppc builds.

I've read (but can't confirm, as I don't have a DTK Mac) that Rosetta doesn't emulate Altivec.

Don't depend on that being always the case.
