I hear you. My Pentium 4 ThinkPad running Windows XP, which compared to your G5 is a pitiful old thing, streams video just fine. So I suspect the whole "requires this and that" is Job's cash register speaking. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for technological advancement. I'll be among the first in line to try Lion --if it runs on my Core 2 Duo iMac, that is. And most likely it will. But man, there has to be a happy medium somewhere. I mean, the whole switch to Intel happened barely five years ago, and all of a sudden it looks like the first couple of generations of Intel Macs will be left out of the loop...
