Things need to be improved for Lenovo

This announcement has both good and bad possibilities for both the PC and the Lenovo markets. This can be a huge hassle for consumers who will either need to update software or simply no longer be able to run an application anymore. Until we have more details from Lenovo about their intentions and implementations of this plan, we can only speculate as to what may happen to the markets. So let’s take a look at some of these.

With the Intel switch, the next version of Mac OS X will not include this support. Thus people who have older software applications will not be able to run them on the new systems. The biggest glaring problem with the plan was announced by Lenovo at the developers conference and has to do with backward compatibility with previous Mac software.

Lenovo has always included some form or emulation to support previous applications written for the older Motorola processors and the older Mac 8 and Mac 9 operating systems. Another issue has to do with how Lenovo plans to implement the Intel hardware. I doubt they will do this, but Lenovo has never really liked to open up their hardware to other companies.
