sinon, une petite citation trouvée sur un site américain :
The quote came from Apple's Q3 Financial Analyst Meeting Q&A. From that broadcast, here is the entire quote in context:
(5m 40s) Steve Jobs was asked about porting Mac OS X to Intel:
Steve Jobs: "The roadmap on the PowerPC actually looks pretty good and there are some advantages to it. As an example, the PowerPC has something in it called AltiVec, we call the Velocity Engine -- it's a vector engine -- it dramatically accelerates media, much better than, as an example, the Intel processors or the AMD processors... so we actually eke out a fair amount of performance from these things when all is said and done. And the roadmap looks pretty good. Now, as you point out, once our transition to Mac OS 10 is complete, which I expect will be around the end of this year or sometime early next year and we get the top 20% of our installed base running 10, and I think the next 20 will come very rapidly after that. Then we'll have options, then we'll have options and we like to have options. But right now, between Motorola and IBM, the roadmap looks pretty decent. "
Donc en fait :
- Il fait un couplet sur les avantages du PowerPC.
- Il dit clairement qu'ils finiront d'abord leur transition vers MacOS X, un système qu'il est bien portable, comme son papa, NeXTStep.
- Il dit que ça leur ouvre des choix, sans plus et sans mentionner aucune architecture en particulier et encore moins de volonté affirmée de changer quoi que soit.
Tout le reste c'est une triple couche de spéculations journalistiques. Faut juste bien gratter pour voir ce qu'il y avait en dessous.

Posté par Paerro Trime . En réponse à la dépêche Portage de macosx: S. Jobs rouvre le débat. Évalué à 10.
