I was just wondering if there is going to be only one version of 10.5 that works on both PowerPC and Intel chips, or will it be like it is now with Tiger?

netdog said:The current Tiger is a Universal Binary. Hence, I am using it to run my Intel Mac. Of course Leopard will also be a Universal Binary, supporting both Intel and Gx machines.
Balli said:Sorry, but I think your a little confused. Tiger is not a Universal Binary. There are currently 2 versions of Tiger, one for PowerPC and one for intel machines.

rentzch said:Youll kernel panic if you select the wrong one for the system youre one, but that shouldnt cause any damage. Just restart, hold down the option key and use the firmware volume picker to select the partition which matches your machines architecture.
pianoman181 said:So yes, 10.5 will be "universal." In the retail box, there will be one dvd that will install on G4, G5 (still G3 maybe?), and intel machines.
