Re Intel, you can't blame Apple for moving their technology ahead,
just as they moved to OSX from previous versions.
Personally I'm able to use CS4 suite (except for PPro and Ae) on my
PPC macs. I've always been 'behind the curve' due mainly to budget
restrictions, so legacy Macs are fine with me, especially since every
Mac I purchased was second hand.
I don't blame Apple a bit for going to the x86 platform, their hand was
forced by a lack of suitable G5s for notebooks. But I do think they were
too quick to pull the plug on supporting PPC, Tiger, and so forth. On
the Windows side developers are still supporting XP which is about nine
years old now, but in Apple land four years seems to be the lifespan of
an OS.
I have budget restrictions too, I usually purchase 'new' Macs that have
just been discontinued or sometimes refurbs. Someday I'd like to buy
just one Mac on the day it was released but that day doesn't seem to be
on the horizon yet.
