As Apple moves from IBM's and Freescale's PowerPC RISC architecture to Intel processors, developers must rebuild their products to support both platforms, into what Apple calls a UB (Universal Binary). And while Apple lists over 1000 UB applications currently available, this process is challenging developers, especially those of some of the largest and most critical applications for the platform.

Agree, it was 12 years since the upgrade from 68000 to PPC, and 5 years to get rid of all the carbon stuff from OS9. You'd think they would have done that... its like complianing that they've been using the same compiler since Windows95 and dont want to change, waah waaaah.

"Byer explained that Adobe Photoshop in particular was tied to CodeWarrior, in part because of the way Adobe had to update the application during Apple's last processor migration. That was in 1994, when Macs moved from the 68000 family from then-Motorola to the first PowerPC chips."
Adobe has had all this time to update Photoshop and wasted it, basically selling us an updated product with old code.
If Adobe can re-write Premeire ground up for the Windows. Adobe should of had Photoshop in Cocoa ready by now.
