Panther won’t be a 64-bit OS

It’s too bad that Apple is being thrown left and right by Adobe and now this. Apple announces that their new version of OS X 10.3 Panther will not be a 64-bit operating system, even though it will be running on a 64-bit processor

“Instead, the next major release of the Mac operating system will be a hybrid, much like version 10.2.7, codenamed ‘Smeagol’, which Apple has running on its pre-production Power Mac G5 machines and with which it will almost certainly ship production units.” [The Register]
