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?
I think it will work on both.
I watched keynote speech again last night and Jos said that all the binaries will be "Fat" and compiled for both PowerPC and Intel platform.

What he is saying is that PowerPC will stay supported for a while and at least every new version of software that comes out will run on both platforms.

I see that changing to Intel only after a couple of years at least.

Example, Adobe CS3 will run on both PowerPC and Intel while Adobe CS4 will be Intel only.
This is my speculation so take it with a grain of salt. :wink:
