"Tiger’s enhanced 64-bit capabilities" again apples own words discussing "features" and "capabilities". nowhere does apple say it is a "fully" 64 bit os.

if it is "fully", where is the discussion about the full migration for 32 bit apps? where is apple talking about the 32 bit os x emulator that will run in the new "fully" 64 bit tiger?

its partially 64 bit. just read apples own words and press.

meanwhile windows xp has been fully 64 bit native running on the itanium cpu for over a year. by the end of 2004 they plan on having another version of xp that runs both 32 and 64 bit simultaneously.
