The OS strategy Apple outlined today offers many advantages over its previous roadmap for developers and users. This will allow for access to MacOS X's advanced features without rewriting the entire application. They can write new YellowBox applications from scratch. This will allow them to take advantage of rapid application developement offered by the object oriented enviroment. The inherit portability of YellowBox code will allow these new applications to be deployed cross-platform.
Developers can choose to do nothing with their current applications.
These apps will not be able to take advantage of modern features of MacOS X and will run within the Blue Box. Here is what to expect this week. Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference will run until Friday. We expect a number of press release throughout this week during the conference. We anticipate that Apple should file its form 10Q for this quarter sometimes this week as well.
