Any OS X Native softare (save some very specific software that requires specific PPC functions like things that require a G4 or G5 for the "velocity engine") will work on the Intel version of OS X. Rosetta makes that seemless. Office 2004 works on the Intel version of OS X. MS has not completed the conversion to Universal Binary format, so it runs under Rosetta instead of running natively on the processor. From a user standpoint, it is 100% transparent (in theory, anything running under Rosetta will run slightly slower, but when talking about software that is highly dependant on user input, like word processing... that speed difference is irrelivant, because I can promise you that you can't operate the software faster than the processor can run it) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
