Only Works With Intel

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

I was hoping that this would actually tell me if software would run correctly on Rosetta -- basically the ability to test my software on my PowerPC before moving to Intel. Instead, you have to already be running on Intel, and it tells you if it's running Rosetta or native intel.

This is still a cool tool, and should streamline the ability to distinguish which programs are still PowerPC only. You can of course do this by doing a Get Info and seeing if the app is universal, but again, this will most likely streamline the process of checking and monitoring. Now all I need is my Intel based Mac!
