What runs on INTEL Macs?

Macintouch has posted their "Universal Binary" software for Intel Macs


As of this week, our good friends at Macintouch have posted and updated their listing of companies who are (or promise to) releasing "Universal Binary" versions compatible with both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macintosh computers, or in specific Intel Mac versions.

They caution: [Quote]

Mac OS X programs that are only available in original, PowerPC versions may, or may not, run on an Intel-based Mac using the Rosetta emulator. See our Rosetta Compatibility list for more information.

No program designed for Mac OS 9 and earlier (a.k.a. "Classic" programs) will run on Intel-based Macs; don't buy an Intel Mac if you require one of these programs (unless someone, as yet unknown, develops a compatibility mechanism in the future).

See the list at: www.macintouch.com
