I think my position was different even _before_ Steve showed up on that stage, and that probably helped me a lot to get over it. Living and breathing in the Mac rumour world for a long time, I knew that it was technically more than possible to do such a step. And I sat there and listened, and I said to myself: "If Steve can tell me it's _not_ going to be a harder transition than the ones before, then I'm alright with it." And from this position, Steve did a brilliant job, really. He not only told the devs _that_ it would happen, he also very clearly showed them the way. Go Xcode. Create Universal Binaries. It was a clean, smooth job done well. However: It was also clear that while developers would probably see this as a challenge and opportunity, consumers (not all of them, of course) would see it as a challenge and danger.

I guess now that he's done the right job with the devs, there'll come a show or two where Steve has to to de good job with the customers/consumers.
