Mac OS X Snow Leopard Drops PowerPC Support

[Schtumple]

Way to revive a thread that has been dead for a year and a half

About technology that's not longer even relevant too...

and, snow leopard doesn't support PPC, doesn't surprise me, if i buy an iMac today, probably'll be outdated in 2 years

Holy thread revival Batman. One year has passed since what?

What's missing is a thread about the demise of AppleTalk

PPC users are not losing support!!! They can still run Leopard, Tiger, and even Panther if they so choose to. Snow Leopard brings no new features to current Leopard users. Snow Leopard is an optimized version designed specifically for Intel processors. Apple will still support Leopard for a while, which means that PPC users still get support. Had Snow Leopard brought some new feature equivalent to Time Machine that will not be available to PPC users, then you have a right feel miffed. But Leopard remains and so does the support. Quit complaining and acting like Chicken Little claiming the sky is falling.

Edit: The new features that will come out in 10.7 is when PPC support will officially be dropped, and that could be 2+ years from now.

This, sorry, I just had to! It's almost exactly the same thing my father said!
