Oooh. topnewsdigest.com. That's where I go for all my Apple-related news.
I don't know where they got that. But wherever it's from it's likely from pre-release documentation and likely wildly inaccurate. Or maybe there's some grain of truth to it, but it isn't what you think. Who knows?
FWIW, it's from the "Upgrading and Migrating" doc for Snow Leopard.
I agree with those who have already posted that what "not supported" really means is probably more like "not included" I've read in other places that one of the goals of Snow Leopard was to use less disk space so I think they pared it down to only the really commonly used packages, and I think we would all agree that WO isn't in that category.
However, I do wish that Apple would be more careful about their wording. It's quite understandable that folks would take "not supported" literally, and in this community that's pretty much like shouting "Fire!"
Also, regarding the lack of WO stuff at WWDC this year - I mentioned this to an Apple employee who sat next to me at lunch, and he said that Apple put all their resources into WOWODC this year since that's where the most WO users are. This make perfect sense to me, especially since WWDC was so much "all iPhone, all the time" that I expect there was fierce competition for every time slot. We probably got more attention from Apple this way, and I'm ok with that.
