When I first heard this I thought "Oh No!" but then I realized my newest Mac was already maxed out with OS X Tiger (10.4.11). To run any newer OS, I'll need a new computer. This also happened when they phased out the 68k Macs for the PPC. This is really no big deal, it does not mean that the PPC Macs will stop working. Macs are know for their long life. (My 68k Mac LC just died a few months ago. It was still being used to run educational games.) It just means that the ability to upgrade is limited.

Leopard is not the ideal OS, at least not at this time, for PPC Macs anyhow, in my silly opinion. Tiger runs great and Leopard really offers little in terms of bang. The problem will begin to evidence itself for us PPC users as developers stop writing for PPC machines.
