macgirl Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 even those for PPC Macs Only, but not all. I know Virtual PC does't work, anyway who wants it.

INFNITE Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 PPC only softwares unfortunately are significantly slower (MS Office for ex). Fortunately, most PPC only softwares that are still in active development already have Universal binary versions (Adobe CS 3 will come out later this month and MS Office will come out later this year) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44700-does-mac-for-x86-and-mac-share-the-same-set-of-software/#findComment-322138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
