Re: Windows emulation/virtualisation on Intel Macs

 >>Photoshop for PPC is definitely slower on an intel mac as it has 
to use Rosetta, which is translating the code.

I'm not a power user when it comes to Photoshop, but I do use it at a 
professional level and I have to say that I specifically went and had 
a play with it on an Intel iMac at Digilife and I couldn't get it to 
perform badly. It seemed exactly the same to me.

So if people are holding off because of this, I would urge them to 
check it out themselves. For what I do, which often involves tight 
deadlines, I don't think I would even notice the difference.

As I said, it could be different for power users, though I'm not sure 
exactly what things would give it grief, if any.

For anyone considering intel macs and FCP - all reports are excellent 
so far. Much faster than a dual G5 even on a macbook Pro.
