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 would think there would be a pretty long transition to all 64 bit apps. In fact, I understand the classic Environment is still going to be there in Panther. I'd hate to try and juggle all of that :-) Despite all of that, we will have really fast Macs, which still excites me to no end after living through the G4 era.
