Comic Life and another internal app already compile for intel. Some audio algorithms in musolomo may need some tweaks though. I think the upcoming laptop CPU from intel is a big reason apple has switched. Won’t be so bad… Comic Life and another internal app already compile for intel.

Apple says it will go from Power to Intel because of cost. Well, the main cost of a CPU is directlly connected with the scale of production (the R&D costs are to high and, if divided by few processors, the cosr will be to much) so, how come Apple took this decision in a time when IBM already achieved volume for Power (Xbox and, in a way, cell)? Something is strange with this argument. You didn’t touched on an important point.
