10.4.3: Now With Architecture Info

Over the weekend I performed a clean install of Tiger on my G5 and immediately upgraded it to 10.4.3. (I do this every 6-12 months to keep my computer as fast & clutter free as possible). After upgrading, one of the first things I noticed was that the column window now provided information on an application’s “Architecture” as shown in this screenshot:

You can see on this shot of the venerable Quicksilver that both Intel & PowerPC listed here (since Quicksilver is a Universal Binary). However, most applications still are listed as PowerPC only.

This, more than any rumors I’ve read, has convinced me that the first ICBMs are due to launch sooner that the originally expected timeframe of Summer 2006. I’ve finally come to terms with the transition and I’m looking forward to both the chaos and wonder.
