Uh-oh.... Anybody following WWDC?

I don't think you are understanding what Rosetta is.  It reads the  
binary of one machine and "Compiles it on the fly into the binary of  
a new machine".  The result is the the new machine is not  
interpreting the other machines instruction set, but conceptually  
recompiling at the binary level and executing at machine code speed.   
This method introduces very little overhead.  You should see 80-90%  
of native speed.  I can live with that.  A good virtual machine might  
give you 10% of native speed.  That is why I keep telling you that  
this is revolutionary and will change the nature of cross platform  
development.  But for now Apple seems content to just use it to make  
their transition seamless for the users and developers.
