There are no formal announcements, no. But there are no classic engineers anymore, either. And from what I can tell, no one in marketing to bother with Classic anymore. And Jobs considers Classic obsolete.
I don't think Apple is going to intentionally cripple Classic in 10.5, but I do think they won't even test it with 10.5, will not include it, and best case, say it is "not supported". I do know how they think there, though, as I had several years of working with Apple, testing products in their compatibility matrix (I worked with the Server group). Every variable they can remove from the testing matrix cuts testing dramatically. They only have X hours budgeted for testing. I expect that Classic will no longer be in the Mac OS X test matrix. And considering the library classes that have to change for the intel support, it is very likely to cause conflicts that would kill classic. Just my opinion, and we have a couple years to find out. ;-) > > >But even assuming you are correct, and that 10.4 is the last version to >include Classic, that still puts us at the end of 2007 before we can't >buy a NEW machine or OS that supports Emailer.
