Edward Moltzen, reporting on Oppenheimeris comments for CRN, said that Mr. Oppenheimer pointed to Adobe Photoshopis lack of a Universal Binary as an example of that. “For power users, they are going to notice a difference [in performance],” Mr. Oppenheimer noted. “They may or may not find that acceptable.” However, he noted that Adobe, Quark and Microsoft have all pledged to release Universal versions of their software.
Mr. Oppenheimer also addressed the recent specter of security problems in Mac OS X, characterizing them as “harmless, proof-of-concept threats” that have had “negligible impact.”
