I tried to look around the beta board to see what the status is on making LimeWire run natively on intel macs. I couldn't find any posts.

Does anyne know where in development making making the MacOS X version of LimeWire Universal?

It already is & has been for quite some time (since early in the year I think.) ;)
If you're having problems then it's not the universal code that's the problem. Chances are it's the system or Java. If you're having problems getting it running, post over at the Gnutella forums: Limewire Technical Support (http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&f=89) :)

LimeWire is Universal since 19 January 2006 (https://www.limewire.org/fisheye/changelog/limecvs/lib/native/osx?cs=intel-mac-branch:rkapsi:20060119205500) (I think that's the first or second week after Apple released the first Intel Macs). There is a bug in Mac OS X 10.4.6 (and prior) which is reporting LimeWire as not an Universal Binary. It's fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.7.

Ah. I'm running 10.4.7 on my MacBook Pro, it's labeling LimeWire as a PowerPC application. Since Limewire is Java based, which is OS X native I was thinking this was wierd it's taking so long to make it universal.

Thanks!

Did you do a safe boot & repair permissions? Sounds odd that your system should not be able to identify a proper Universal app. Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption (http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html) Such errors of identification I'd suggest mean the system needs some cleaning up. Such misidentification happens even with non intel systems & the system misidentifies a particular program or file. Perhaps even a system repair is in order.
