Right, and ...

If you are running a Hackintosh, then almost anything from 10.4.8 through
to (just) yesterday's 10.7.2, and perhaps (pretty soon) tomorrow's 10.7.x
or even 10.8.x will ... mot likely ... work.

Incredibly enough, non-gen-u-wine-Apple hardware has proved itself itself
to be MORE COMPATIBLE with MacOS X software than has gen-u-wine Apple
hardware.

Go figure!

I keep around several ... well, MANY ... gen-u-wine Apple platforms * ,
but every one has support issues which are of APPLE'S MAKING.

However, I also have MANY Hackintoshes, and none of those have any support
issues which are not of MY MAKING.

I also have paid-up licenses for every MacOS X from 10.3 on, including the
server versions (yes, "unlimited clients") of those.

But, I tend to run the server versions of those, and for my money, which
is the only thing of relevance to me, Lion and Server Lion now makes the
most sense, to me.

* I also own, and use nine ... count 'em ... NINE Apple Network Servers
(one ANS 500 and eight ANS 700s, most of which have been upgraded to 200
MHz CPUs, and all of which have the functional maximum of 512 MB of
EDO/FPM 60 ns parity RAM).
