Yes, I've seen their site and the list. They make good stuff and
are certainly smart enough to pull of Mac x86 if they want to.
Curiously, though (if I read their site correctly), you can't even
BUY a Mac version of CodeWarrior now. What's up with that?
And it's curious that Steve said CodeWarrior users will have to move
to XCode, not that Metrowerks will be updating CodeWarrior. That
seems strange to me.

Me too. As a programmer who'd like to dabble in plug-in
development, CodeWarrior is a big barrier to entry on the Mac side.
I see all these little but useful plugins being churned out on the
Windows side and wish I could do that.

I wonder if that would make Carrara run nicely under Rosetta?
Things I'm reading say Rosetta emulates a G3, and surprisingly well
for SOME tasks.

Yes. The ability to boot or run Windows at near native speeds will
be great for folks who run OS X because they WANT to and keep
Windows around because they HAVE to.
