    I believe they are referring to MS Office running through Rosetta. Other than that there is no delay that I have experienced.

    When the core 2 duo comes out, will it not run through rosetta? Rosetta seems to slow everything down.

    Everything ran/runs in Rosetta until it is moved to a Universal Binary. The only major apps left are those from Adobe/Macromedia and Microsoft. MS has sayed to expect Office 2007 in mid-2007 and it will be Universal Binary. Expect all Adobe apps to be finished around the same time.

    But for typing in word it really is not that bad. it does not make it unusable.

    Adobe products are due out early next year, not mid-year. I would expect to see universal copies in the feb-april months, at the very latest may (I doubt it would be this long, as Adobe already shown working universal copies).
