I have an iMac, 2GHZ,20inch, rev B right now and I have a couple of questions.
How long will the PowerPC be supported by Apple. I know 10.5 will be universal, but as time goes on, do you think they will continue to support the PowerPC chips when writing 10.6 or 10.7?
I am thinking of getting a Macbook, and at the same time selling my iMac. I don't want to be stuck with a machine that I can't run the latest software on (not pro apps, but system software and internet utilities) 3 years from now. It will only be a light duty machine at that point. If i bought 10.6, would i be able to install it on a PowerPC and an Intel Mac?
Thanks

So its your opinion that Apple will be releasing both PowerPC and Intel versions of OSX (and the majority of its consumer software) for the next 5 years?
I wonder if 3rd party developers will support PowerPC for as long.

This is the wrong forum for questions on iMacs.
