[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1266360, member: 38864"] I didn't realize that Carbon apps wouldn't work under Lion, but you're right… that shouldn't come as a surprise. Carbon was initially intended to be a temporary stop-gap measure for developers to write apps that could run under OS 9 and OS X. It's time for it to just die already. EDIT: Actually it looks like schweb is right. Until OS X drops support for running 32-bit apps, Carbon will have to be around for a bit. It's only Cocoa that has 64-bit support. I think Lion is the final warning shot. I would expect 10.8 to drop Carbon and thus 32-bit apps completely. [/QUOTE]
