The bad side of the macbook

Ok, this is not really about the macbook, but about a particular application, Microsoft PowerPoint, which is completely unusably running through Rosetta. I'm sure that when Ol' Bill comes out with a Universal version it will run just fine, but right now it is complete trash running on my macbook. A google search shows that I am not an isolated case.

All the other Rosetta-dependant applications don't run nearly as slow. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator aren't screaming, but they're fine, and Wavemetrics Igor Pro is great. I'm not sure what the problem is with PowerPoint but its a big one. A bit disapointing ...
