Mac OSX Lion coming this Summer

[Greg Kmethy]

As many of you probably know, OSX Lion is coming out this summer. It's very likely that there will be no Rosetta in Lion, which means that old PowerPC applications won't run on Lion. As a consequence, ArchiCAD 10 will be the oldest version running on OSX 10.7 Lion and files created with ArchiCAD 6.0 or older will not open on OS 10.7. It's time to update those ArchiCAD 6.0 projects before moving to OSX Lion. The ArchiCAD File Converters are a great help for this:

Another Mac-related news that GRAPHISOFT has announced earlier (here on AC-Talk as well) is that ArchiCAD 14 is the last 32-bit version on Mac. The next version of ArchiCAD will be 64-bit only. This might affect users who use older Macs. Early 2006 machines fitted with "Core Solo" or "Core Duo" processors don't support 64-bit.
Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Quad-Core Xeons, Dual-Core Intel Xeons, and i3/i5/i7's are OK.

Ralph,

Yep, I guess that would be a bit too hopeful! Versioning would be tremendous and save ton's of server space! What an amazing world of technology we live in!
