You mean like the Apple II?

Not the OS or the hardware. It was Apple, the company. If you think that MS is "evil", then you should look at Apple. They expect you to buy a new machine every year to run the recent upgrade of their OS!
BTW, "jihad" is an Arabic term, from the Quoran meaning "holy war".

OS X 10.3 officially runs on any G3 with built-in USB; it unofficially runs on any G3, or machine with a G3 upgrade card with help from XPostFacto. So the very first iMac, which is six years old now, can officially run Panther. Will it be the most pleasurable experience? Perhaps not, but neither is Windows XP on a PC from 1998.
My PowerMac is over two years old, and has gone from 10.1 > 10.2 > 10.3, getting faster with each upgrade; it will probably last a couple more years with comfortable performance, though I plan to upgrade the CPU soon. I wouldn't be surprised if this machine is still usable for another four years. Likewise, my G3 iBook is doing just fine.
If anything, Macs have a history of NOT requiring extensive upgrades to run the latest software. OS X, and the switch from old to new-world put a slight kink in that pattern, but it was necessary. Your claim is largely FUD.
And Jihad is not Arabic for holy war, it just means struggle. The word itself predates the time that Islam even entered Arabia, or there could be anything 'holy' applied to it (the areas was filled with pagans before Islam).

i would expect tiger to be faster on a g3 after that big lawsuit against apple.

Solaris, your logic in this debate is wrong.
You have not provided any new information at all, which changes this from debate to argument/flamewar.
your logic is: If X is true and Y is in the same class as X, then Y is true, e.g. you can see where this logic falters.

So far, I have never seen a single post you made that didn't make you look like complete noob.

Sure, it's "FUD", whatever you say, buddy boy. After all, you didn't sink $1200 into a Mac, after being promised "full support by 10.1" only to learn that AltiVec was the dividing line between first-class and second-class citizen.
Sorry, but I remember the promise of "Rhapsody for all PCI Power Macs". Hell, I remember the promises of Copland for all Power Macs.
I felt disappointed, felt that I'd been ripped off by Apple, and that my computer had been depreciated faster than it should have been.
I'm sorry if I pissed you off by the fact that I felt let down. I apologize if I don't worship the ground that Steve Jobs walks on.
It's my damn choice, and my reasons. If my personal feelings are "FUD", then I have an idea for you...
Fuck off.
