Summary: mac is so big because it is small. In even more simple turms, the mac platform is secure because not many people use it. thanks. richard.

It’ll justify to release a major OS change, without PPC code inside and that there would be any new feature (for Mac user…)

This doesn't seem unreasonable to me in the least.

Also no way Apple is going to annoy millions of PPC users either. Jan 2010 for next release, here's hoping for a tablet before then! no way any new OS will be released in Jan 2009. there’s far too much going on with the iPhone right now!
