Could you tell us a little more about overhead when those applications run in 'naitive' OS (Windows or Mac OS X). Maybe, it is better to compare it with Mac OS X since on the same hardware same software run dramatically faster on Mac than on Windows XP/Vista.
Also, I would like to know what is advantage of Bordeaux over WINE? When do you plan to support the latest products from Adobe? By the way, it is a great news and price is very affordable even for people in development countries.
