Leopards and jaguars aren't the same species.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm just hoping there will be a version of OS X called "House Cat."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
No, but they're close enough that many so-called jaguars are technically leopards, and vice versa. Panthers can be either.

Huh. I thought jaguars were new world and leopard/panthers old world.
::googles::
Encyclopedia Britannica agrees with me, and adds "Leopard: formerly pard or pardus , also called panther (Panthera pardus), large cat closely related to the lion, tiger, and jaguar"

A summary of what Steve has said:
Moving to Intel processors from PowerPC. Why the transition - want the best computers for end users and we haven't been able to deliver what we wanted. PPC products still to come, future roadmap 2006 and beyond - intel roadmap is exceptional
eta:
transition isn't going to be overnight, this time next year plan is to ship macs with intel processors, complete transition by end of 2006.
eta:
Jobs introduced the president/CEO of Intel on the stage....
and...
two major challenges - making OS X think on intel procs. Every release of OS has been compiled for intel x86 for the last 5 years - cross platform by design. All demos up to this point have been done on an intel proc.

I see it's official. [link]

[1:34 PM] Steve confirmed all this, BTW, by saying the rumors have been true about how Apple had an Intel project. - posted by Dave
[1:33 PM] Today's demonstration has been done entirely on an Intel Mac. Steve is showing us how everything works. - posted by Dave
[1:33 PM] Every project done at Apple has been mandated to work on PowerPC and Intel. - posted by Dave
[1:33 PM] "This has been going on for the last five years." Every release of OS X has been compiled and run on Intel processors. - posted by Dave
[1:32 PM] "Mac OS X has been leading a secret double life. There have been rumors to this effect...(laugh). We've had teams working on the just in case scenario." - posted by Dave

not done yet, will put in dev hands soon. How to make it work with your apps - separate code, xcode will compile for all, cocoa with minor tweeks and a recompile will work without a hitch - can be ready in a few days. Carbon will still take a few weeks to recompile but xcode makes things faster. Xcode 2.1 released, builds universal binary (one binary works on both PPC and intel)
eta:
not every app will be easy to convert, so translate PowerPC code inline into tel - dynamic binary translator. Photoshop plugins for PPC binary translate without a hitch. Developer transition kit - 3.64Ghz P4, for select and premier developers only $999.

Did Jobs say anything about movies, etc. that fit with the Pentium D movie DRM theory (from Wired) I posted above?
