I was present at Apple's WWDC yesterday and witnessed one of the historical moments in Apple's history, the introduction of their 64-bit platform. Am I impressed? The answer is complicated. I was happy to see Apple moving on and deliver. But I would have expected nothing less from a 4 billion tech company who had the need to catch up with the "other" platform, the 32-bit PC. You all heard by now what's new in yesterday's press releases and news coverings. But here is a wrap up of the first day of the conference and a commentary on what Apple really announced yesterday, underneath its surrounding distortion field.

The previous post was not a slam against GCC, it does it's job (being an excellent cross-platform, cross-language compiler suite) very very well. However, very few developers actually use it under Windows, with the exception of students and open source software developers, who can't afford/ideologically don't support/can't rely on commercial Windows compilers.
It was however, a slam against Apple...shame on them, no offense but I would never want them to be in control of the computer industry...I just can't trust them because they are constantly pulling crap like this
