Having someone with a more vested interest in the technology on all the platforms is a good thing!Īs of the release of Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3, the version of Arguably this will be a good thing, as the Apple JDK usually lags 6 months plus behind the official Sun/Oracle one. It isn't installed by default, but after the fact just like on every other platform other than Solaris. What has happened is Apple has quit mangling their own JDK into the OS and delegating responsibility to Oracle to supply a JDK for OSX going forward. For JDK 7 it will be available from Oracle, maybe even through the App Store if we are lucky! And the old versions will run fast as well.What it means for right now, is nothing has changed, except that the JDK 6 and on is now a separate download via Software Update. An old Mac tower, well maintained, will keep going for a long, long time. Unless you have issues with having to be able to open CS5 documents (your counterpart could always save backwards to an older version for you or to. Unlike the trains wreck that is CS5 (which Adobe blames both Apple and Microsoft OS’s for Adobe’s disastrous programming), Freehand, and even old versions of Illustrator (CS to CS2) are very stable, and even on old G4 towers, run very quickly. To those who depend on Rosetta for using great programs like the old Macromedia Freehand (RIP, damn you, Adobe), it makes sense to dedicate an older Mac for this purpose.

Users will still be able to download and use it, but it won’t be part of the default operating system install - a nonevent followed by a non-issue… Perhaps least of all the features getting pared back or outright killed is Front Row, Apple’s soon to be erstwhile media center software for the Mac.” Similarly, Apple will stop shipping Java as part of OS X with the advent Lion. So far, this has been a total non-issue and, with the increasing use of HTML5 delivered video, Flash’s relevance will continue to wane. Users wanting to use Flash have had to download it themselves. “The easy take away here is that Lion will be native 64-bit and Rosetta supports 32-bit Universal and PPC code.”įairer Platform reports, “Apple stopped shipping Flash default OS installation with the 2010 MacBook Air and Early 2011 MacBook Pro. “One of the OS X features getting dropped in Lion is Rosetta, Apple’s PowerPC software compatibility layer which originally shipped with OS X 10.5 Leopard,” Fairer Platform reports. A number of features in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion “not only won’t be updated, they’re being dropped entirely,” Fairer Platform reports.
