Largely lost in the shuffle among yesterday's flurry of Mac news was this bit:
Microsoft and Apple have signed a five-year
pact in which Apple agrees not to prevent users from installing Windows on their Intel Macs and Microsoft agrees to
keep making Office apps for OS X. The first part is cool, but the second seems strange, what with Apple announcing an
update to its iWork office suite. According to Macworld, though, the pact is
"about reassuring the public," and if
you think about it, five years really isn't that long.

Unfortunetly, this was announced by Roz Ho (shudder).. She has to be the most annoying person on the planet.

my question is, will i be able to go to the store, purchase Tiger for Intel, and install it on my Windows pc?

it's no, Tom
Windows on a Mac => yes
MacOSX on a PC => no

So my expensive Photoshop CS for Windows can be installed now also on the new Mac?

Joid - not unless you have Windows installed and install it on the Windows partition (or however that works).
