It's not dead yet! >that at least Firefox will keep updating PPC versions? The Moz guys only just recently moved away from Panther. I haven't even seen any hints of dumping Tiger yet.. And as long as XCode does Universal builds, you'll still see ppc versions. >How many more updates to Safari can we theoretically expect before >PPC is no longer supported? Probably a few more bug fixes. Safari 4 is, after all, a done product. Remember - Safari, iTunes, etc, are all WebKit based. Apple may not be making any money from Tiger sales, but if they dump Tiger support in those products they'll start losing iTunes Store sales -- their bread and butter. >Do we all jump ship and swim to to a different OS (Linux) ? Yes. Unlike System 6, 7, 8, 9, Puma, Jaguar, and Panther, Tiger is going to drop dead with paws in the air in two days. Abandon hope NOW or else! >Is there a future for Chrome OS and PPC?
