We'll have to wait and see how fast and good emualation of Power PC

So far Apple announced that their own applications: Aperture, Final
Cut
Studio 1, Logic Pro 7.1 - will require an update, because they
don't work
under emulation (it is calles Rosetta) - upadates of course won't
be free -
it's Apple style :-( PowerPC, OSX now Intel. I hope users will be
still
patient to handle another changes and costs...
I think the key isn't that they couldn't be made to run on Rosetta,
the key is that these are high performance applications that Apple
sells to the professional marketplace... people who make money using
them. People who buy these high-end applications would not be
interested in using them with an emulated environment: performance
suffers too much.
A $49 update charge is trivial for people who are using these
applications to make their income. Same goes for Photoshop (which
does run in Rosetta) and other high-end applications used by the
professional creative community.
