1. I'm still confused on a few points. PC software will work on these new intelcore duo proccessors?? (the apple website doesnt clarrify this too well, or atleast i'm not understading it. It just has a little blurb about a universal logo on new software.) |

These systems use the same CPU as "PC" systems, but that doesn't mean it will run PC software. The OS matters. Right now, MS Windows won't natively boot on these, so you won't be able to run Windows software for now. You will either need MS Windows to be modified to run, or you will need an emulator. They are coming, but are not here now.

2. All mac software will also work on these intelcore duo processors or will some sort of emulation software be needed?? (is that what rosetta is?!)
3. What exactly is rossetta? i'm still piecing this mystery together. |

Rosetta is the emulation software. Not all mac software will run under Rosetta (e.g. Apple has said their Pro tools won't, but MS's Office for Mac will).

4. Games... On PC, Games are not ment for laptops.... no matter what the specs they just runner slower. Is this true to for intelpowerbooks... err i mean imacbooks? (i'm guessing we wont know till February??!) |

It will be much the same with the Macs. It's simply a matter of how much hardware you have. The latest laptops generally have lower performance hardware than the latest desktops. Performance generally means bigger, more power hungry and more heat, not good for Laptops. However, just like on the PC, some games will run just fine.

p.s. any rumours on mac coming out with a TabletMAC ideal for students? |
