[QUOTE="Nightblade, post: 31183"] Yeah, I guess you're right...But I think on the internet, I have seen free software downloads that are exclusively for 10.3.3. People sometimes discontinue versions of programs for OS X that are below Jaguar and sometimes even Panther. For example, MSN Messenger 4 for Mac OS X was just released. I remember that the system requirements for MSN Messenger 3.5 for Mac OS X were 10.0.3 or something like that. The system requirements for the new MSN Messenger 4 are 10.2.8 (with 10.3.3 being recommended)! So, if Microsoft decides to keep updating MSN Messenger for Mac, then eventually there will be a version for OS X that requires Tiger. But the reason this is bad is because, when a newer version of MSN Messenger for a particular operating system is released, Micorosft prevents the older versions from being opened (well, you can't connect the server when you open the program) within a few months of the newer version's release.
