Power Mac Native

More and more companies have shipped products that run in PowerPC native mode, and to assist you in keeping the score card up-to-date, here’s Apple’s list of all commercial shipping products. Although it include a phone number for each company, we have not researched alternate means of contact, so you’re on your own if you live outside the U.S. and all that’s listed is an 800 number. The list changes every week, needless to say, but we wanted to give you a sense of how many applications have been released in PowerPC native mode so far, almost three months after the Power Macintosh introduction in March.

Of particular note is Casady and Greene’s Conflict Catcher, which not only helps to manage extensions and track down conflicts on any Mac, but also (on the Power Macs) reports on what extensions are running in emulation mode and thus dragging down your system. Also notice the large proportion of companies that are not located in the U.S. Hmm, I wonder what this says about the Macintosh software market?
