Adobe has released CS3 with more flavour than any other CS release ever (due to the acquisition of macromedia thus packaging Fireworks,Flash,Dreamweaver,Contribute,Director ..etc,etc)
This promises NATIVE x86 binaries for Intel MAC as opposed to the current rosetta situation (in the CS3 beta IntelMacs were outperforming G5Imacs by a factor of 2-3 for most operations , as opposed to rosetta emulation which dragged Intel macs to ~50-70% of iMac PPC performance)
