wrong. I've run software to strip the PPC versions off my hard-drive, and it removed HALF my bloody hard-drive. Seriously. That's a whole lot of waste if you're running an intel system (or a ppc system)

I can go back to ordering Asus high end mainboard, 8 core Xeon with massive ECC memory, a Windows server or business option and a high end antivirus like Kaspersky .If they abandon PPC Workstation owners, that is what they will likely do. Every Adobe App, pro App such as Quark, AVID works on PC and they come with cross-license options.If they joke with pros, it is just a phone call.PS: Sadly, almost nobody except dozen of quality developers coded anything altivec-optimised, that is why that PPC emulator could work. It is mostly IBM dinosaurs fault.
