Mac OS X A recent article by Tony Smith from The Register titled "Mac OS X 10.3 Panther will not be a 64-bit OS" caused a good deal of confusion with many people, including me. It is also caused a heated argument here on OSNews. The basic point of the article is that Mac OS 10.2.7 and 10.3 are not "true" 64-bit OSes, but the article does not clearly explain what a "true" 64-bit OS is. This had led to a lot of claims that the article is false or misinformed, rather than just unclear, which is certainly is.

I Don't see why they will not move XServers and OS X server over to True 64 bit server systems. there is little reason not to realy since a server can realy benifit from this.

so Hank....what do you think about buying a 64 bit Server for scientific programming?
