No Photoshop Killer, Aperture OS X

Apple's Aperture is a nice piece of software. It's the right tool for the right job - workflow and image management for professional photographers. Don't let the blogosphere fool you into thinking this eats into Adobe's user base. Aperture specializes in photography, while Photoshop has tools for designers and photographers. What Final Cut Pro was to iMovie, Aperture is to iPhoto - an industrial strength tool with great management for a lot of large files and non-destructive editing and Apple's obvious ease-of-use (or should I say joy-to-use). Best feature of all? It's another reason to buy a Power Mac (and the new Quad G5 with a TB of disk space and 16 GB's of RAM will do just fine).
