Uh-oh.... Anybody following WWDC?

[Pierre Sahores]

Dear listeners,

Exactly the same experience here in about running linux x86 hosted web 
and applications servers. For me the Mac power is mostly inside the OS 
and we don't have to care about hardware tasks. As exposed yesterday 
evening at WWDC, little indian will crash our programms if our code try 
to divide by 0 where big indian will gohead in returning unusable 
results. Is that lots different ? In doing most of the translation 
process for us, i'm realy confident about the way in witch our sweat 
Rev team will probably open new opportunities to both us, the 
developers, and Rev, our great cross-plateform xtalk  ;-)

Best to All,
