| 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) | |||

| 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.

| :How about "They're pretty busy"? I mean, making everything but the PowerMac and XServe Intel by Leopard is widely expected, and PowerMacs may be Intel by year's end. That's 4-5 lines to redo drastically, as well as porting their other software over to Intel. Toss in the iPod based stuff, and Apple would appear to be running at top speed all year long. I don't see how Leopard could get out the door before MacWorld San Franciso 2007. | |||

| :They probably think that Mac OS X on ordinary, big white/black boxes is an insult to the OS. Perhaps they think that part of the 'Mac feel' is the all-in-one elitism in both hardware and software, and I don't think they want to lose that. It's as though they have a child that they're reluctant to let out into the big, wide, scary world of ugly boxes. Also, it's not too difficult to customize Windows or Linux to look exactly like Mac OS X. That's just a jocular opinion, by the way! --] 17:46, 24 February 2006 (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)
