- AT will hopefuly manage it just like Apple did. Mac applications are
- sold as Mac applications, not PPC or 68xxx applications.
- When the user tries to install the application, the software installer
- utility finds out if the user has a Power Mac or 68xxx machine and
- installs the correct version of the software. Very simple if done
- appropiately! ;)
- I hope AT follows the same route...
