I know Apple is pretty secretive so not sure if this can be answered,
but I heard a rumor that OS X Leopard will not run on the PowerPC
platform, and will only be intel.
Can anyone confirm or deny?
thanks,

Apple's transition strategy for business applications is for all of
them to be compiled for multiple platforms. So it would be very
difficult to believe that Apple would make it OS single processor.
Especially since the statement from Steve's keynote was that Apple
has been cross compiling the OS for both Intel and PPC many years.
For sure this chain of engineering behavior goes all the way back to
when OS X was Openstep, which ran on Sparc, Intel and PPC.
The only reason that Apple would do something like this is, if they
want to shoot themselves in the foot for fun. And I'm sure the smart
people at Apple would not find this to be fun.
Myth busted!
