Apple 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.

<<<Re-read the article. Slowly.>>>

I have read your article and Apple has surpassed Wintel by a mile. The Mac software not optimized for the PPC970, running on a GHz speed up and the Windows versions are.

Quote: "Apparently, the PC they tested with, it's not the fastest P4 money can buy."

The 3.06GHz Xeon is the fastest processor from Intel. Intel's website doesn't show any 3.2GHz Xeon processors.
