Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y With Snow Leopard finally been given a release date and a price, the comparisons with Windows 7 are starting to pop up all over the place, especially focussing on the price aspect of things. While Apple's move to price Snow Leopard at 29 USD for Leopard owners is a very welcome one, the move doesn't mean that Microsoft is getting a price beating from Apple.

If you had a "shiny G4", you'd be running Leopard right now, with all current software you want.

And there is tons of software still available for Panther (2003) and Tiger (2005). Tiger would run fine on a slightly newer G3 with the NewWorldROM, and all mainstream web browsers work with tiger currently.

Panther support is on it's way out. I run Panther on a clamshell iBook in the kitchen. Browser support is now starting to cease. Firefox is stuck at version 2. Safari is really old. Camino won't be available in version 2. Opera still is available at version 9 but a little slow.
Most other software is only available in an older version.
