What you can't run on a Mactel

Re: preference panes, only the functionality of the preference pane should be out. eg: Photoshop should be fine, but the functionality provided to it by VersionCue may be unavailable. There may be some workaround available, as some of these preference panes are only there to start daemons. It may be possible to start the daemon manually or by writing a LaunchAgent/Daemon or StartupItem to get it up and running.

Short version: if the preference pane is largely optional to a product, the main app should be fine. If the preference pane is key to the operation of the product, you'll need to wait.

Still with the Mactel of it?

Jason--I've always gotten MySQL from entropy.ch (who just links to a page within MySQL.com, IIRC) and I've never seen a preference pane for it.

In other news: at the stevenote, Jobs said Photoshop would run, but it's part of Creative Suite, which includes VersionCue, which includes a preference pane. So is that out?

Good to here... I was under the impression that it was an unofficial beta build, done by someone outside of the adium team, but i may be wrong. Regardless, an official universal binary is due from Adium probably tomorow.

Zach: There's already an Intel-compatible Adium in beta. http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/AdiumBeta

I'm compilling my own list of specific apps that won't run on my new IntelMac. UPdated as I come across them.

Oh and this site was built entirely using iWeb. Yesaterday. I like, one hour

My current install of Starcraft was five months ago when I got a new PowerBook G4. The installer rejected the OS X install until I installed Classic, though, of course, I can no longer boot in OS 9. Maybe it was a glitch.

I asked about Windowshade because it puts APE and and a preference panel in Preferences.

I also notice that Flip4Mac WMV, which I installed just the other day, has a component in Preferences.

Mac Diva, how long ago did you install Starcraft?

Damm... For university and personal projects I occasionally use Classic to run Fontstudio purely for its simplicity... Seeing as, AFAIK, its not been updated since 1991, a universal binary is a lot to wish for! :S

Mac Diva, how long ago did you install Starcraft? My install was straight OS X.
