In order to achieve maximum being blown away momentum, you'll want your software to be Universal, i.e. contain native intel code. As has been mentioned by Eric and SGilbert, Adobe's apps only are Universal with the CS3 line, Microsoft Office 2008 will be Universal. Check whatever else you need...
Emulated PPC apps still run, but require quite a bit of memory and don't perform at native speed. (Still: It's not *that* bad an experience.) By now, most software developers offer some kind of upgrade to a Universal version either free or at a cost, Adobe (money) and Microsoft (not yet available unless you're in the beta programme) being the "baddies".
