In fact Apple says that you cannot run any of their pro apps with rosetta so you have to wait for march anyway.

The upgrade price to universal binary is $49 but they also offer some other upgrades at really low prices. For example if you own a soundtrack pro or logic 7, you can get the full final cut studio package (worth $1299 or something like that) for only $199.

Owning Logic 7.1 unfortunately does not give you the Full Final Cut Studio Package for $199. But you are right none of Apples Pro Applications are supported at this moment in time for their latest Pro Product!

If you already own DVD Studio Pro 4, Motion 2, Soundtrack Pro, Final Cut Pro 4/4.5 or Production Suite then you may if you wish get the full Universal Version of Final Cut Studio for $199.

But again if you already own Final Cut Studio 1.0, Aperture or Logic Pro 7.1 you can purchase a Universal version (when it is released) for $49. Which is a bloody annoyance if you have already paid and own this software no matter which way you look at it.

On a Canadian Apple website it said that if you own logic pro 7.1 (it was one of the programs in the list), you can also upgrade to final cut studio for $249 (canadian). It seems that Apple has different information on different pages so we must wait for the official announcement when these upgrades are really available. I have the Soundtrack Pro too, so I will get the upgrade for that price anyway but I'm mot sure if I need those programs because I don't do video.

I am a logic user as well, and have no plans to switch to the intel chips until I have too. I think it is a bad move that apple is going to charge for a working version of software we have already paid for. It was not our control for apple to switch, therefore we should not hav to pay for it when we do switch. Kinda pisses me off.
