Don't know the answer, but share the concern, since I know our
large Mac installation would be very upset as an Apple customer if
this promise were not kept. I think Apple would be open to a
class action suit, similar to the one they lost on promised upgrades.
Of course, Jobs didn't say require, but did say that they would
guarrantee it would run on all currently shipping systems. Hmmmpf,
why believe that, since that is exactly what they said about
Rhapsody last year?

Apple needs to clarify this soon.

Soup,

I'm not completely clear on this one either. The ubiquitous Don Crabb says that OS X will require a G3 FWIW.
