Hi there,

Reading the other threads, i have noticed that the new macbook pro will run native programs through Rosetta... If thats the case, what programs can be run through the macbook pro? Can i run exe. files?

Nope.

Well, if you get Virtual PC you could.

Intel-based Macs will run PowerPC applications through Rosetta, not "native" ones.

They will not run Windows applications (.exe's) at all, until a new version of VirtualPC becomes available.

Or until Vista comes out and someone figures out how to dual boot.

And again... Intel processors do not equate to ever being able to boot Windows on a Mac natively.
You are still looking at two different systems... the CPU has very little to do with what OS you can or cannot boot.
