And i'll be waiting MorphOS for PowerPC Macs anyway. First of all, anyone should be glad to have state of the art OS on bright PowerPC-era Machintosh computers.
But i think, that need of support for PowerPC Macs in other aspect - in portability, as *Books G3/G4 were only wide spreaded PowerPC-based laptops. Of course that will be and problem too for company, that want to sell its hardware products in much more quantity.
Mac Mini with G4 processor was targeted, cause of small quantity of drivers to write, while PowerBook for example is more hungry.
Proprietary Broadcom chip for Wi-Fi, motion sensor, keyboard backlight, APM (for battery), touchpad, different sound chips and at last buggy Intrepid 1/2 chips.
Anyway 170 euro is not much for full-working release. But for PowerBooks and other not-working or half-working environments it's better to get something like "Developer KIT" in order to haven't time limits and get compilers.
