Mac OS X The original rumours concerning Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard stated that it would be available only for 64bit Intel processors, leaving PowerPC G4, G5, and early Intel Macs out in the blue. While Steve Jobs' keynote and the preview pages at Apple.com did not speak of any hardware cut-offs, Gizmodo got their hands on a hardware requirements document for the Developer Preview release of Snow Leopard, and it contains bad news for PowerPC users.

first of all the last ppc was sold less than 2 years ago. i understand apple can not support hardware forever, but it should at least support expensive hardware like this for 5 years or so.


they will. one more year till snow leopard and two more until the next version of osx, at which time support for leopard will stop. that's five years since the last ppc-mac was sold..
