schwieb, I agree with cortig: just go on blogging as you’ve been doing. It’s really fascinating.

sneumann,

There’s no way, and no good reason, for MacBU to switch their zillion lines of Carbon code to Cocoa – ever. Carbon is a fully supported mode in OS X, and can still do some things Cocoa can’t. But David Weiss, anither MavBU blogger who works in the “back end” at MacBU (writes programs for testing Office, etc) has said that they certainly use Cocoa there. I think they use Cocoa for some of their other utilities, too – maybe even a few that you can find in teh Office subfilder of Microsoft Office 2004…

I would love to know how it is the relation a big guns developer like Microsoft have with apple in terms future strategies, I mean, how it was when apple launched the first iMac in 1998, o with OS X, it is a surprise, they ask you about something, or you are like me, and read Mac rumors once a week to find out how thing are in the rumor mill.

I would love to read about your point of view of the many Mac rumor sites.
Do you read rumor sites? What do you think about them?, have you ever been taken by surprise by one of particular site/rumor?

Whilst obviously you can’t comment on current or future development at MacBU, I’d also be interested in more of the move towards Cocoa and Xcode as per everyone above

Keep up the great blog, and hope you’re getting more sleep!

I’d like to know something about MacBU’s future:
What do you think about Cocoa and MacBU? Do you think MacBU will switch to Cocoa in the next five years — at least with completely new projects?
For me as young developer (14), who learns Cocoa for one year now, this is of big interest.

I’m with Cortig. Love what you’re posting, just don’t know where you have the time to do it!!!

I’ve very interested in your move to XCode, so insights into that are fun. I used to work for NeXT, my first programming job, then moved to Delphi, then finally to Visual Studio and C#. I’ve since returned to Objective-C.

So, heck, let me ask you what sort of posts youâ€™d like to seeâ€¦

You’re doing just fine IMVHO Kepp on posting the same kind of things you already are

You mentioned that your assembly class was 68K, then PPC, and now its MIPS. My school (UCSB) does MIPS as well–any ideas why the transition was from architectures that students actually had to MIPS, which most students will never be able to run on bare metal?
(If I was taking the class, I’d probably use that as an excuse to get an old SGI–they’re just cool machines anyway)
