Will new Mac Pros run 10.5?

Out of curiosity, why would you want to run 10.5 when 10.6 is a highly optimized version of 10.5?
Couple of reasons, our canon printer doesn't have drivers for 10.6 plus the whole 'creator codes' issue is a big problem for our studio.
Application-specific 'Recent Items' isn't broken in 10.5.x
Honestly, though, I wish Apple would FIX that already. I use it all the time in textedit and FCP.
I suppose you could hack (by hack I mean burn a copy that has edited hardware specs) it to install, I don't see why not.
You would have to install a GT120 or a 4870 tho...
However left to it's own devices, no, it won't install.

Only having drivers for new hardware in new versions of the OS is hardly controlling. The real disappointment is that there are reasons people would prefer to still be running an older OS....
Not really... It's like complaining that Windows Vista won't install on a new PC. Mac OS X Leopard is from 2007, which really isn't that old.
Um, no. It's like complaining that Vista won't install on an alienware. Even with the Leopard disk there's no way to install it on a 10.6 machine.
Edit. Oops too slow lol what he said.
So you want to put a system that is less optimised for your hardware and/or a system that has no drivers for your hardware?
I think I prefer the optimised system and developers have the old hardware anyway so there is no problem.
That's pretty obvious... I was stating that their example given was not an accurate one compared to the OP.
