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.

I've been wondering since the announcement if Apple will add any virtualization support in Snow Leopard. If they do drop support for PPC hardware do you think they would keep around Rosetta such as in a virtualization or emulation layer?
I mean surely Apple is doing something about virtualization in this release right?
