Ok,

Post what you have tested here, please no software troubleshooting in this topic.

My tested apps:
PPC - Stuffit Standard 9 - Works fine, estimated time to completion is messed up.

PPC - Toast Titanium 6.1.1 - Works (have not tried burning anything yet) recognised my Sony DVD/CD-RW Burner fine.

I have plans to test iWork, iLife '05, and Adobe CS2 for Mac sometime soon.

Tried Microsoft IE for Mac (My wife doesn't like safari) works fine.
Tried Microsoft Media Player for Mac. works fine but no mp3 playback, only wma
Tried Microsoft RDP Client for Mac, Works fine
Tried OsxRar Works fine
Tried Logitec Desktop application. DO NOT INSTALL, crashed osx at boot up. loaded up in safe mode and removed app. now osx boots fine.
Tried iTerm (kick arse osx terminal program that supports colour ANSI) Works fine

So far it looks as if all mac apps should work as long as they do not require a reboot for driver install...
