Intel Core Macs - not software ready?

Our IT person, who specializes in Macs, suggested us to not buy the new Intel Mac machines yet as very little software has been ported for the Intel/Power PC core.

She says that as is, current Apple and/or PC ported software will run on average 50% slower on the Intel Macs than on conventional Macs.

I asked her about timelines as to when certain software that we use - Adobe and Microsoft - might be ready to work with the new Intel Macs, and she did not, as of now, know.

I'm just passing this tidbit of information along.
