I don’t understand what all the fuss is about on this topic. I have a new Macbook Pro, running Leopard. I use it for teaching image processing workshops, and never know exactly what version of Photoshop various clients will have installed, so I have Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4 all installed. They all run just fine. For what it’s worth, I also have Win XP installed so that I can boot into it instead of the Mac OS, and on that side I also have CS, CS2, CS3 and CS4 installed, as well as Photoshop 7 (which does not run under OS X on my Intel Mac). And they run fine. I did have some problems running the older versions under Vista, which is why I am using XP. Apple has done a very good job of maintaining compatibility with older software as they have migrated from the PowerPC to Intel, and from an older operating system to Unix-based OS X. Only on the newest machines is it not possible to run Classic mode that allows some really old legacy programs to run.

I think that was just what the OP wanted to know.
