I'd like to see a PPC iMac update to Safari.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G5

I mean, dear god. WindowsXP is OLDER than PowerPC iMacs. And people expect Microsoft to support it for free? Where the hell is my iMac G5 support?

Oh yeah, thats right. Its in the trash. When Apple declared the PowerPC (or was it Mortorola?) dead, and switched over to x86 Machines.



Actually, Apple transitioned from Motorola 68k to PowerPC in the mid-90s and the 2000s transition from PowerPC to x86 was their second successful transition.


Not just PowerPC, they've declared IA-32 dead as well, moving to x86-64.

Keep in mind Safari is not a critical part of OS X and can be deleted without affecting anything.
