Hi Tom - it depends entirely on your assessment of the target audience for your product. Apple doesn't provide any information in particular to help developers gauge audience sizes, though the conventional wisdom is that Mac users who buy software tend to update to the latest releases pretty quickly.

So for a general purpose consumer-oriented app, I would probably support only 10.4+ if starting today.

This is probably only marginally on-topic for the list, so let's not elaborate too much. Good luck!

Daniel

hi there,
I'd just like to ask whether there's any Apple offical advice for which revisions of OS-X we should be expected to develop for and support? The reason I ask is that I'm coming across several parts of the API where more functionality was added for the release of 10.4 e.g. NSString. The deprecated functions that were replaced will be deleted from the header in the near future, so is it acceptable just to develop for 10.4 onwards?
Thanks,
Regards,
Tom
