Well, why is this such a big deal for mac users?

Ok, here is my attempt at explaining it to the masses. Macs that were made before 2006 (iBook G4, Powerbook G4, Powermac G5, iMac G5) are fitted with PowerPC Processors from IBM/Motorola. They had a different architecture from Intel chips and thats why we couldn't run Windows on our macs (Virtual PC just wasn't good enough, so lets take that out of the picture).

So when Apple had macs fitted with Intel Processors in 2006 (Macbook, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro), the architecture was the same with what PC users had. That is why we have Windows Xp and Vista running fine now but at the expense of older mac software running at a slower speed because they were programmed for the PowerPC era.

Hope thats clear enough to help you understand why Adobe CS3 is such a big deal for mac users.
