Here's a rumor I've heard from a reliable source:
Engineers at Apple are working on Leopard on their PPC machines because
Leopard doesn't run on the Intel developer machines. It seems very unlikely
that 10.5 won't run on PPC.
Also, from Steve's talk at WWDC 2005, PPC support is in the roadmap for
10.5. That by itself should show that this Intel only rumor is baseless.
