I'm running Tiger on my 64-bit PowerPC and Leopard on my 32-bit Intel,
mostly since I couldn't see any reason to upgrade either a second time.
Seemed the like biggest reason to upgrade to Snow Leopard was to get
better support for your newer 64-bit Intel or newer graphics card...

I thought the "support plan" (if there is such a thing as support)
said "Snow Leopard, Leopard and Tiger as a legacy platform"...
And then kill Tiger support for next major release, just like it
said "Leopard, Tiger and Panther as a legacy platform" earlier ?
