 Coolness: 64985 | The magazine " WIRED " has an article about Transitive Corporation that claims their software " allows any software application binary to run on any processor/operating system" without any performance hit. That would allow any program written for Windows to run on Linux or Mac, and vice-versa. The Transitive software is being released today.
So that would be the beggining of the end of platform exclusive software...! [ Spong.com ] has posted an article about it this morning [ Spong.com ] : " [...] Indeed, whilst displaying Quake III running smoothly on an Apple Powerbook, Weiderhold went on to say, “One of the key breakthroughs is performance, you can’t tell the difference between a translated application and a native application.” And explaining how Quick Transit actually operates, lead engineer Frank Weidel made the following useful analogy: “It’s like a translator versus an interpreter, instead of working on every chunk of code, Quick Transit translates a sentence, or a paragraph, at a time. That’s how we get the performance.” It is an impressive development with a multitude of potential uses. If it becomes theoretically possible to put any software on any platform, then for starters, the gaming emulation scene is about to be blown wide open. On the wider computer technology scene, there will also be very important repercussions for the way that hardware manufacturers compete and interact. As IT analyst Jim Turley rather neatly put it: “a universal emulator is computer science’s equivalent of alchemy’s quest to turn base metal into gold. Many have tried; all have failed.” Until now, that is. Expect more Quick Transit related news in the near future. " Another article here : [ news.yahoo.com ] .... Producers, can you imagine the latest version of Logic running on a pc without performance loss ? SO many possibilities |

 Coolness: 49790 | bullshit.
Emulation takes resources, this is PRspeak from a saledroid at it's best. If you emulate quake3 on a brand new 4000$ laptop, sure it's gonna look fast like a motherfucker : THAT GAME IS 3 years old!!! |
