PowerPC apps that have not been recompiled for Intel will run in an

honestly, who knows whether MIDI will even work under Rosetta?
In the long run, I suspect that this, like the move to OS X, will be
good for Apple. In fact, it's probably essential to its viability as
a computer maker. In the short run, I think we can only really be
certain of one thing: that the transition to Intel Macs won't be
anywhere near as seamless as Steve's keynote speech made it look.
It better be, though. If Apple turns all my software to virtual
doorstops again, I'm jumping to Windows, which whatever its other
shortcomings does not do that to its customers.
