[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1371708, member: 24098"] I don't think they have any specific intent to "lock out" the professional market per se, but I don't believe it's quite as strong of an area of focus for them. You will certainly see Mac OS X continue to add features that parallel iOS, but I do believe they will continue to be two separate and distinct operating systems, used for different purposes. Whether you choose to use those features is entirely up to you. Also, contrary to some of the reports I've seen about Apple moving to ARM for the CPU in notebook models, I don't believe we'll see that move any time in the near future. At least not in the current model lines - although I wouldn't put it past them to build some kind of a notebook/tablet hybrid that uses ARM in a completely new product line. What I find interesting is the reaction that a lot of the "pros" have to all of these changes.... as if the trend were something new. This is Apple, not Microsoft. They have proven time and time again that they have no hesitation to kill off what they deem to be "legacy" technologies in favor of whatever they see as the future. You either come along for the ride, or get left in the dust. If you want a platform that maintains backwards compatibility at all costs, then you should probably looking at Windows. [/QUOTE]
