Er, not yet.  AFIK, they still make some use of 
the Altura software libraries which intermediate 
between the windoze OS calls and the MacApp 
framework PShop is built on.

How much is that, 48 exabytes?...  ;^)

Yes Please!

For sound & image editing, get a G3 mac with MacOS 8.5,  
256 MB RAM and two 17-inch monitors.  And a CD-Burner.
And a SprintScan 35 plus.  And... (singing now) a partridge 
in a pear tree.

But OS-wars aside, whatever you get, expect to spend 
twice what you though you would!
