This reminds me of the decision to not support Adobe Flash on the original iPad. It was a huge inconvenience to early adopters but eventually changed the face of the internet. I wonder what effect ARM Macs will have on other x86 based environments like Windows and Linux. Will we start to see a migration from x86 to ARM or will we retain the split? Ubuntu and Arch have ARM distributions but I can't build a gaming rig out with ARM. It's mostly non-upgradable integrated systems. Will that change? As an iPad 1 early adopter I would hold off on getting an ARM Mac immediately. Within a year half of the apps in the app store wouldn't work for various reasons. I wouldn't be surprised if that happens here.
