If by full support you mean continued upgrades 10.5.9, 10.5.10, etc, I think you are dreaming. The cost of maintaining two entirely different OS versions and development teams is simply too high. The release of OS X 10.4.11 after the rollout of OS X 10.5 was an exception because 10.4.11 was near the end of its development cycle and there was very little work remaining to do and the 'fixes" were deemed important. The support for not yet obsolete PPC hardware is dependent on the supply of parts on hand. Apple does not maintain a production line to build new replacement components.

If by full support you mean an occasional security patch or troubleshooting support with no expectation of a code update to fix the problem then yes, that will be provided.

Actually I don't think Steve intends for PPC users to upgrade their OS beyond OS X 10.5.8. The King is dead, long live the King.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
