f it is "fully", where is the discussion about the full migration for 32 bit apps?
"As in Panther, both 64-bit and 32-bit applications in Tiger can use hardware-accelerated math functions when running on a Power Mac G5.

Source Code Compatibility
Look to Tiger for strong support for application source code compatibility. Write source code once and then recompile as needed for systems using the PowerPC G3, G4 and G5 processors. This enables you to maintain just one version of your source code, simplifying both development and maintenance.

Tiger simplifies software distribution with support for Fat Binaries, an application that contains both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries within a single file.

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?
Hunh???? What the hell do you need an emulator for? Do you know what 64-bit means?
by the end of 2004 they plan on having another version of xp that runs both 32 and 64 bit simultaneously.
Tiger can run 64-bit and 32-bit apps simultaneously.
I think you are confused or are obviously trolling. "Fully 64-bit" doesn't mean only 64-bit.
Your emulator comment is laughable at best.
