Budapest,
July 11 2007 – Graphisoft announced today that as part of
its long-term development strategy to provide its users with the
latest in Apple Operating System technology, it will cease its
Macintosh Power PC support for ArchiCAD in 2009.
Graphisoft is moving in the same manner as the Apple phase out
for the Macintosh Power PC platform which commenced last year.
Graphisoft has been working in close collaboration with Apple
to adjust development plans in order to provide a smooth migration
path for ArchiCAD users. The next major release of ArchiCAD will
be be the last version that supports the Macintosh Power PC platform.
“Considering the typical lifecycle of hardware today, we
are convinced that with this plan, there will be sufficient time
for our users to upgrade to the new Intel Macintosh platform.”
– says Viktor Varkonyi, VP, ArchiCAD Development.
“Innovation requires the very latest technology, so we encourage
our users to move to the current and future lines of Apple computers
as soon as possible. Users should see significant productivity
benefits as a result.”
