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.

" There's nothing really innovative or ground-breaking, but good steady progress."
Are you kidding me, the advancements in Panther alone were incredibly innovative and ground breaking.
The more I read the comments from my fellow computer users, the more I think that they simply have a chip on their shoulder and are afraid of having their egos bruised somehow. As I mentioned in my above post, we need to give credit where credit is due.
Name some reallly innovative features in Panther? Things Linux, *BSD, and Windows haven't already had in some form for years? I can assure you the list is short
The PPC970 is nice, but it's not gonna be alone on the desktop for long, so Apple's still got a long way to go to be undisputed king-of-the-hill
