I agree that is what he is referring to.  And that is what is being
made available.  In both cases (with different versions or versions
with both 0x0 and native code) the software has PowerPC native
code that takes advantage of the speed increases available by the
PPC processors which were not possible on the 68K processors.

It is, in fact, possible to support new processors without just
abandoning people with older machines.  Because Windows machines
are being pushed into premature obsolesence doesn't mean it
has to be that way.
