Just curious if any beta users have noticed if certain features in Leopard are crippled when installed on a G4 the same way, for example, Quartz Graphics and Core Image were disabled in Macs w/o specific video cards.

Good question! Anybody? Obviously Boot Camp will not be available; and I also wonder about Front Row, since it's been denied to pre-iMac-G5 users (you have to employ a hack to get it running on a G4 in Tiger).

Front row and photobooth will now be included with Leopard...Steve said this at WWDC.

Anyway, you should be able to use everything on your G4, and it will most likely be faster then Tiger. Apple would not cripple a 2-3 year old computer. After all, I have a mac from '99 that still runs Panther.
