Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

These were not all mac developers, I would fathom to guess that most were NeXTSTEP developers that made the jumped from NeXT to Rhapsody.
Back when OS X was called Rhasody, apple did have two versions of teh OS, an X86 version (which I now run under VPC) and a PPC version. Apple let the DEVELOPERS decide. They gave developers both copies and they said "go ahead and knock yourselves out, make any app that you want
After the dev Ed 2 f Rhapsody, the x86 version was never again made.
