Of course, trying to sell my iMac G5 to finance a future upgrade is now likely to make me lose quite a bit of money, and the fact that I’m sitting in front of a machine that will depreciate steeply until 2007 is a major pain. That I’m not happy with at all, no matter how good the hardware is.
Agreed, definitely. If I had known this was coming, I’d have gone with the Mac mini in a heartbeat (which would be a pity, actually). Can’t imagine how Apple expects to sell any high-end hardware for the next year or two.
I’d hazard that 10.5 (Leopard) might well be the last PowerPC version - and that 10.6 is likely to be Intel-only.
Geez, they’ve been maintaining twin versions of each OS X version since 10.0 — you’d think they’d at least be able to go through with this until 11.0.
One thing’s for sure: Windows emulation is going to be one hell of a lot faster, and a lot of speculation is certain to be heading down that road soon.
Indeed.

Obsolète en 2007, l'iMac ? Pas si sûr... Regarde tous les powermac G4 qui tournent sous Tiger...

Je miserai pas un sou sur le fait que l'on puisse installer OS X intel sur n'importe quel PC. Il y aura certainement une relation puce espion - système ... Donc ça tournera que sur des Macs.

Evidement qu'OS X ne tournera pas sur les PCs ... c'est annoncé.
Tiger tourne sur les G4 oui et même sur les G3 mais en 2007 on aura Leopard et Tiger est déjà pas top rapide sur un iMac G5 alors...

Ben ca tourne tres bien sur mon imac G5 Michael, c'est le tiens qui est maudit :)
En revanche sur l'imac G3 c'est pas terrible en effet.
