Just wait till all of those old programs are updated for the intel processor... once that's done, you'll start seeing some good speed comparisons between the two os's.

The comment is that the OLD version of the OS X programs, such as Photoshop, do not run as well on an INTEL-based Mac. Has nothing to do with Windows/XP/or anything from Microsoft.

All of the "old" programs coded to the PowerPC macs must be run through Rosetta, an emulator included with the OS, in order for them to run on the new macs. A program written as "universal" will run perfectly fine on the new macs. Which then kinda stretches the claim that the new macs run "2 times" faster than the old ones. Depends on how you measure that speed. For the most part, they are faster, but with old software, not so.

related to a PC version of Photoshop running on a Mac under VPC
or was it XP/Bootcamp on Intel Based Mac machine?
