Could someone place a link of some sort to this article that shows the accuracy of the information therein? It's not that I don't believe what's here, I am just curious to see where it comes from. I am particularly interested in hearing about the PowerPC/x86 support that is going to be simulataneously supported in this new OS. I was under the impression that Tiger was going to be the "end-of-the-line" OS for PowerPC systems. It's very interesting to see things stating otherwise. ] 2005-07-07 18:27:25 (UTC)

:Jobs' WWDC keynote address would be a good first reference: FYI, Apple continued supplying OS updates that would run on their old 68K machines for almost four years after introducing the PowerPC architecture, and they've been more than happy to sell $129 OS X updates to G3 owners for the last few years. They might conceivably drop support for the old G3 models in Leopard, but they're not about to abandon people who are just buying G4 PowerBooks and G5 PowerMacs this year. ] 7 July 2005 19:04 (UTC)


I've heard of an unofficial version of Mac OS X 10.5 called ''Sorbet Leopard''. Maybe include some info about Sorbet Leopard in the article? (Or maybe create a separate article about that subject?) ] (]) 16:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

New Intels coming out by June, 2006. New OS coming out by end of 2006. So the Intels are going to be running Tiger for 6 months? That doesn't seem right somehow. Although maybe it's best to stagger the transition ... a new chip AND a new OS all at once might be a bit too much ... :) --] 22:45, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

:Whether it "seems right" or not, that's evidently the plan. The developer Intel machines are already running Tiger, so it's actually more like 18 months of Tiger-x86. ] 02:22, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

10.5.9 Sorbet Leopard

I've heard of an unofficial version of Mac OS X 10.5 called Sorbet Leopard. Maybe include some info about Sorbet Leopard in the article? (Or maybe create a separate article about that subject?) Blacky the Bre (talk) 16:45, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

A quick Google Search found this page on the Apple wiki on fandom.com, but that's not much of a reliable source, and the references it gives are on Reddit and MacRumors forums, so not exactly reliable sources, either.
I didn't see any official site for it. There seems to be enough talk about it to indicate that it's not just a hoax (i.e., a big troll by multiple contributors), but not much in the way of details. My guess is that, if it exists, it's probably somebody taking a Leopard release, tweaking the open-source parts from the equivalent Darwin release, and releasing that, but that's just a bit of original research (if a quick guess even qualifies as "research") on my part, so there's no chance that I'd put that in an article.
I'm not inclined to say anything about it in the article without reliable sources. Guy Harris (talk) 20:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
