[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 265395, member: 16911"] Since Apple switched over to Intel processors, older programs have to run through an emulation program called Rosetta. This is invisible to the user - it all happens in the background as the operating system converts code from the old language into the new Intel one. The result is slightly slower performance in some tasks, but in most programs running through the emulator, you won't notice anything. Photoshop and Dreamweaver are due to be released for Intel (dubbed 'Universal') next spring. The current versions are still perfectly fine to use - starting up takes a little longer and applying filters too, but overall it's still rapid. OS X is really easy to get the hang of, and after using it for a while, Windows XP seems really outdated. [/QUOTE]
