If I were the head of a sizable operation that invested in the latest G5s I would be letting Apple know loud and clear that I am not a happy camper. I was locked out of Lepeord due to my ancient G4 Gigabit having a low clockspeed of 400 MHz but that's OK. Panther ran best on this machine but I do OK with Tiger. OTOH, some folks run Tiger on earlier G3s. Put simply, G5 support should have been maintained for the last generation PPCs IMNSHO...
