This prompts the question: does anyone know of Apple saying publicly that their *next* OS release (10.4) will (or won't) work on B&W's?
I know that Dan Knight had mentioned in a previous mail that:
Apple has been intentionally ripping support for legacy hardware OUT of OS X.
I'm just wondering how eager they are to add B&W's to the list of machines that won't run their latest OS without a hack (if at all).
I don't think they are ripping stuff out just to drop off older machines. 10.3 appeared to drop the machines it did to simplify the support issue. It eliminated the "Old World" machines which is a ROM issue. I don't know how different the remaining machines are in ROM so I don't know if there is some line where they would like to cut. I tend to think the next cut is to eliminate the G3s but I think that will be a while as there are too many out there.
