Below is an excerpt from Realities report. Jobs said Mac OS X would be "directed" at the G3 which would lead me to believe "optimized". I don't think anyone knows yet. Likewise, all the reports on Rhapsody as a continuing program are logically inconsistent both with what Jobs said and with descriptions of OS X. OS X is Rhapsody according to Jorg Brown with a "Grey" box (Carbon) added. Why would you continue two OS's one with grey, one without. Makes little sense. Jobs seemed pretty clear that Rhapsody 1.0 would be the last since OS X is Rhapsody 1.0 but who knows at this point. Jorg Brown's view of a yellow, grey and blue box (To run existing Mac OS apps) seems very ungainly. Does that mean that you will have to run various apps in different environmental windows as per the original blue and yellow boxes? Does this mean essentially 3 slightly different user interfaces as per original blue and yellow? Does this mean no drag and drop between different environmental windows - only cut and paste? If any of these are the case Mac OS X is not suitable for the average user. My impression from the speech was it would be a unified environment but I'm not sure now and I doubt anyone else on this thread is any better informed. Quote MacOS 10 G3 Only? Will MacOS 10 (MacOS X) be G3 only? Sorry to say, but it looks like it from what Steve had to say. However, MacOS 8.x/9.x with the Carbon libraries (Sonata) will run on all, or almost all, of the PPC line. Users will be able to take advantage of all the hard-core features of MacOS 10, just no Yellow Box and MacOS 10's underlying features. Apple has still yet to confirm what kind of hardware Mac OS X will require. It is still possible that MacOS X will run on the higher end 604e systems. However, Jobs speech makes us think otherwise.
