Well I was going to post a quick and dirty review of RSP which I have recently grown to like, will be interesting to see how the technology is integrated.....
John - The mathematical algorithms don't really care if it's a Mac or a PC, the "intellectual ideas" will be cherry picked and amalgamated into all versions of Lightroom.
Gavin - Lightroom will already be well down the development track if they are nearly ready to release a PC based Beta. The ideas from RSE/P will be swallowed and used in future versions, but not necessarily the first.
Larry - Definitely a good way to protect your market. Don't expect lightroom to be as cheap as RSE/P though. Probably won't be much price difference between Aperture, CaptureOne and Lightroom.

Who'd have thought that Adobe would be interested in buying into technology that ignores Macs
John
Clive - RSE/P will be pulled - no more updates.

In which case I think I will stick with BreezeBrowser and/or DPP which is now finally a decent RAW converter.

The Adobe press release says that they are going to integrate into Lightroom.

Lightroom is probably another 6 months from full release, this should give them enough time to complete any integration.
