Here's more food for thought on this subject.

1. When Apple finally rolls out 'Leopard,' how many 'tested on Intel' apps do you think there will be? Seeing how Leopard ONLY RUNS ON APPLE HARDWARE (see bottom of page: http://tinyurl.com/8vwvz ), how will develpers test their apps? I'm sure Apple will seed a few developer boxes out there, but the majority of developers will have to 'wait and see' how their newly cross-compiled code runs. Not a pretty sight, IMO.

I believe you can get an Intel machine from Apple very soon for testing if you are a developer. I thought I read somewhere during the keynote that you could get Pentium machine running Tiger in order to test.

2. ... I expect all software MUST be upgraded when Leopard ships. IMO, this is a big of an upgrade as the OS9 to BSD UNIX OSX.

I don't know that this is correct. Rosetta seems to take care of running current software without any recompile.
