Apple always makes things obsolete before they really should be.
What, it wasn't up till now?

I haven't even considered the point about the iMacs and MBPs with Core Duos! Apple sure moves fast and considering the FIRST generation iPad will have some functionality cut with iOS 5 (gestures), it's looking rather grim. There is still hope in Cook to turn things around, though.
The original iPad doesn't have the faster hardware for the gestures. This is not Apples fault, Apple does not control the advancement of technology.
i wonder where Apple officials have learned to count ? the PowerMac G5 should not be in that list
"obsolete products are those that were discontinued more than seven years ago"
and to my knowledge of mathematics 2011 -2006 is not 7 ! ok maybe they count different in cupertino
PowerMac G5's got sold until 2006 as my one a 2.3 dual core was delivered to its original owners,a now bankrupt company in beginning of 2006 by Apple ! so technically the iMac intel core duos delivered in the same year should be on that list too as they officially cant run LION
my G5 works really well
and my eMac's are on that list too ,they too had been sold in 2006 and still work perfect under Tiger and are everything but obsolete .
sorry Apple but with that attitude you dont sell me any products , declaring 5 year old products as obsolete is ridiculous
btw its true i still receive updates for Microsoft office 2004 which runs on my iMac G3's Microsoft even offers a patch to open files made with office 2008 (ppsx docx and such)
and as a Windows box i have a dell dimension c521 (amd processor) and hey its the same age as my PowerMac G5 and is fully supported by windows 7

That's a matter of opinion. If you own one, and it no longer adequately serves its purpose, it is; if it still performs sufficiently, it isn't. Obsolescence isn't an absolute.What, it wasn't up till now?
The issue is not whether Apple "officials" can count, but whether you can read.i wonder where Apple officials have learned to count ? the PowerMac G5 should not be in that list

See above, obsolescence isn't an absolute, it depends on use. In the case of the support document, it is merely a classification. Apple's declaring products vintage or obsolete has no bearing on your specific product's performance in your setting.my G5 works really well

That's more recycling issue. As long as it's cheaper to heap discarded electronics on poorer countries, this will continue.once something is deliberately made obsolete , it will one day end up there in Africa if not kept by some enthusiasts and collectors
Yet the gestures work flawlessly on a jailbroaken iPad 1st gen. I am planning to jailbreak it to get the most off iOs 5's functionality.
I am not holding my breath about Cook turning things around but hope always dies last.
Speaking as someone who loves his Dual G5, I can say that it deserves to be obsolete. It's still my main (read: only) computer, but everyday tasks are becoming very slow.
I see your sig. It's a fast machine but the low RAM will make it unbearably slow. Even by today's standards 512 MB would absolutely kill Lion on ANY machine. Leopard needs at least 1 GB to run properly and really rally fast.
