Yes, Apple is dropping support for PPC machines and Tiger in general.
I've seen information about Apple no longer providing parts for
PowerPC-based Mac repairs, in some cases. But as for no longer
supporting Tiger? Please provide specific citations. I'm
thinking that's just general rumour or something.
Uh, Dan, lets see:
Last couple of security updates did not include Tiger.
Were the patches applicable to the software in Tiger?
Some Apple software requires 10.5 or better, iWork for example.
Yes, but that's app development, not OS support.
iTunes LPs and iTunes Extras require 10.5 or better.
Again, app dev and (frankly) lame featuritis.
