I’ve bought all my Macs after they’ve decided to go Intel… What came after 10.6 was a tighter integration/binding to the Internet, and the Apple App Store and iTunes with all of Apples little gadgets and smart devices. I neighter need nor do I want that. IMHO, Apple went the wrong way. The hardware they built while in the PowerPC era was IMHO the best, even if they didn’t realize it. So was the software (Mac OS X went a very good way from NEXTSTEP over Rhapsody to Mac OS X 10.6, but they went straight down into commerce right after. It’s only business – too much for my taste. So I’m happily running Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 alongside 8.6 and 9.2.2 on my G3 and G4 Macs, and Linux on my PCs.
