Not as easy as some may think. Rosetta is not the end-all
solution to compatibility between the two platforms. If you
read up on it, it only supports apps that run on a G3. So if
you need Altivec or G4/G5 optimizations, you're going to be
out of luck.
Carrara may run under it (although dog slow), but newer stuff
like Hexagon will be rendered unusable until a native port is
made.
If you combine this with how long it takes some companies to
port their software to new processors/OSes (Quark and Alias
Wavefront, for example), a move to intel becomes a lot less
attractive.
This is going to make the transition from 680x0 to PPC seem
like child's play in comparison.
