Being a software developer, I'm not too worried about it. I think it could open up some great possibilities. With Rosetta being implemented, it seems that not too many programs developers need to worry.
Rosetta seems to be an emulation software that will run unaltered software but at a slightly reduced speed. Any software requiring special functions of the processors are the ones that need any kind of real work. Programs like all the ones we use in prepress.
I think it's probably too early to decide the major impact this decision is going to make. If it wasn't for change, we'd all still be using Apple IIe's and Pagemaker 1. :twisted:
My main question is are the programs going to be backwards compatible. So when Adobe Creative Suite 3 comes out, will it work on just Intel or will it work on my old Dual G5?
