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.

Yes, I agree that Panther isn't all that innovative, but same with 10.1 - but it was far better than 10.0 because it actually pushes OS X as far as it can go. I'm not sure about Panther, but I'm pretty optimistic about it. Meanwhile what I would suspect is that Panther was mostly being optimized for 970, as oppose to Jaguar. In other words, who knows - Panther may be a speed demon.
Besides, the highlight of the show is the G5s. Now, you complain about the speed of the RAM used in the machines, but frankly, the overall speed of the machines is very good for its price. Maybe not so in comparison with the highest end one. Surely I wouldn't recommend the cheapest, I would recommend mid-range or highest end. The lowest end has the least bang for the buck, and it is not because of the RAM.
