Yes, but people who buy these new Macs can be surprised that their $$$$ applications refuse to work. I mean: Apple should have upgrades for their flagship software ready before they introduced intel based machines.

Right, it is not much, but I still think it should be free of charge for users of the latest versions of these applications. If you buy the latest Photoshop when it is known that newer version will come soon, you usually get the latest version for free when it appear. > Same goes for Photoshop (which > does run in Rosetta) and other high-end applications used by the > professional creative community. So far no Macintel native Photoshop is ready. But it is interesting how fast would rosetta applications run? If similar to 68k emulation on Power PC, than such a applications on a fast G5 will be faster than on Macintel. -- Balance is the ultimate good... Best Regards Sylwek
