Scott shared a few of his favorite selections from the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update. There’s one he didn’t list, that could be key. Well, key for a few people at least.
If you’re a faithful reader, that should remind you about when I had concerns about Rosetta’s accuracy. Basically, SPSS refused to support their products while running in Rosetta due to numerical imprecision. Reader Fletcher chimed in and pointed out that the same thing can be witnessed in InDesign CS2.
Fletch, if you’re still out there, could you confirm whether 10.4.8 fixes this issue?
Yes! InDesign CS2 no longer shows super-long decimals like 1.5005005005005 in the measurements. Everything is limited to three decimal places again, just like on PPC macs.
Rosetta applications also seem a bit zippier since the 10.4.8 update, so I would say that Rosetta is finally maturing into an excellent emulation system.
