With the advent of the Intel based machinery it seems there isn't
a methodology for interpreting the user's processor type with
gestalt.
You mean there's hope people stop trying to write processor-
specific code or even trying to prevent users on specific machines
to use some apps at all? If that's the case, I'm all with Apple.
There's very very rarely a need to find out something about the
processor. Performance increases due to different compiler flags on
different machines are neglible for average computing. Preventing
specific processors from executing an app is just nonsense.
There are several valid uses (like in a bug report form in an
application), so I'd actually be just as unhappy as Chris if this
wasn't available.
