I can't remember how Lightroom 1 installed, but Lightroom 2 is via .pkg.
If CS4 is also via .pkg/.mpkg, Adobe-using Mac users of the world WILL rejoice.
Isn't this the whole point of FAT binaries...so users don't have to worry about the details? Weird.

You actually have to enable this by navigating to the executable and bringing up the get info dialogue. From there you can uncheck the 'open in 32 bit' option. Otherwise it runs in 32 bit mode.
