Will software I use like Final Draft or Avid DV Express or ProTools work TODAY with the new macbook pro?

I'm very confused by all this.

I mean, will Firefox work?

It seems that even apple made products like Final Cut require the purchase of new software...

Software that won't work on Intel Macs:
- Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
- Screensavers written for the PowerPC
- System Preference add-ons
- Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
- Kernel extensions
- Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries

Any other PPC software should run fine with Rosetta. Any Universal Binaries (like the iLife apps) will run natively.

For Apple's pro apps they're charging a nominal fee to cover packaging and shipping. I'd expect many companies to follow their lead.
