Though I can follow the arguments for concentrating the efforts on new and

iMac a MacBook from around 2007 which is not upgradebale on OS X 10.6
anymore and I am sure there are a lot of those machines out there with 10.5,
from my feeling much more than 3,8%. So I would be very unhappy to tell all
my clients out there with these kind of machines, sorry you either can't buy
new software from me nore updates to existing software anymore. And I can't
afford to compile and supply two different versions of my software.
So from my side thumb down

I am stubbornly running 10.6.8 on my main machine but I am starting
to feel compelled to finally upgrade. Upgrades for more and more
programs that I use are not supporting 10.6 anymore. As much as it
pains me, I can understand that to provide support for newer
features, the programs need newer OSX. People running 10.4 and 10.5
use older hardware (I have a few of those around) and can't expect to
be able to run the newest version of a software development system
(while most of their programs are older versions anyway). As long as
RunRev supports 6.6 with bug fixes for a decent while, this is a good
compromise. A few of us that have to support those users commercially
may have to put extra labor, but the change is better for majority,
me thinks.
