From what I understand; they purchased a piece of software that already existed to translate PPC to x86 in some form or another and iterated on it. I believe the software may have already even been called ‘Rosetta’. My memory is very hazy; though. While I experienced this transition firsthand and was an early Intel adopter, that’s about all I can remember about Rosetta or where it came from. I remember before Adobe had released the Universal Binary CS3 that running Photoshop on my Intel Mac was a total nightmare. :( I learned to not be an early adopter from that whole debacle.
