I don't think there is hard core market data you can use for all
products. It depends on your market, and at best all Apple could
tell you is the number of people using each version of the OS. I
would assume you're more concerned about the potential for sales
to people using 10.2. That group has been around a long time and
is shrinking. Do you really think there is a significant number of
10.2 users who just haven't gotten around to discovering and
buying your product yet?
After seeing the message from a Mac OS 9.2 user today on
MacInTouch, I guess not. All the laggards are still back on Mac OS.
There is no middle ground between 9.2.2 and 10.4.9.
I suspect there are still people out there using 10.3. It's perfectly
useable and I'm sure there are people who just didn't see any reason
to spend $129 to upgrade to 10.4. But I wouldn't worry about
supporting it if I were working on a product and wanted to take
advantage of features that require 10.4. I decided a few years ago
that I was just tired of trying to maintain multiple code paths to
support multiple versions of the OS. Now I support all reasonable
versions of the OS by keeping older versions of the product available.
