I have several boxes of licensed versions of BSDI (BSD/OS) lying around at work. Various revs. Used to actually use it.
Good old BSDI...

Shrug, then it might be as slow as non-Universal Binary apps running on Rosetta...
Seriously, until we get the library of PowerPC software coded for the IntelMacs, running XP and native Windows apps will be the only way to get the true performance out of the new Intel hardware for the vast vast majority of applications.

And that's why I'll keep my quad core G5 humming for a few years and hope that by then the apps I use will be ported.
