Apple lists available Universal applications
I'm sure you have all been to Apple's website with information about
Universal applications, but Apple recently added two new sections. The first lists several software developers like
Quark, Blizzard, and HP and quotes about how excited they
are about Intel Macs and creating Universal versions of their applications. Typical marketing stuff, but worth a
glance.The other, and most useful page, is a list of Universal applications that Apple is maintaining. This is a great resource for all you lucky Intel Mac owners.

Jeff - No, it cannont run on a pc running Windows. Per Apple's Universal webpage:
When you see the Universal symbol on Mac applications, that means theyre made to run on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Mac computers...Theyll automatically run at peak performance for your Macs architecture.
a question for all of you... what does it mean when it's universal? for example, ichat av is universal.. does that mean i can now use ichat av with my pc? i'm assuming no...?

Wonder if that is deliberate, or because it is not commercial?
Now I can't wait for all those pro-apps to appear. Thanks for that great page :)

Versiontracker's list is much more helpful.
MacUpdate ( http://www.macupdate.com ) now shows a visual cue for Universal Binaries. Nice.

Is it too much to ask for a a way to jump to a letter rather then clicking "Next" a dozen times, or hopefully choosing the right category?
Well at least there is a search field.
Either way having such a list available is a great resource.
