I'm using CS3 on Tiger. No problems.

It may be technically possible for them to develop and release some such
thing, which users could download and then use with their existing
Leopard DVD to burn some new bootable Leopard install DVD that will work
with the new hardware.

But I imagine that the number of people who want to buy a new Mac and
then erase the OS and replace it with an old discontinued OS version are
in a tiny, tiny minority. Not worth Apple's time. For that very small
number of users there already exists a workable solution - the used Mac
market.

This is not as good a workable solution because it then makes the day
one has to get more modern machinery come sooner and at greater expense.
We do not know the number of people who would like new hardware with its
power advantages who would like the ability to delay upgrading their
expensive software considering it suits their every little need.

Capitalist economies tend to embed a distasteful and wasteful
obsoleteness in their goods. I don't like it. Please don't tell me what
I should *have* done. I have done it and you are now all responsible for
helping me get the best value out of my $2000 purchase. I want you to
concentrate on my future, not my miserable and wretched and shameful
past. <g>

you do realize that apple is in business to sell computers, not coddle
people who want to stick with years old systems, right?

what is the benefit to them to do something that will make you *less*
likely to buy their products?

nobody is forcing anyone to upgrade. if you want to stay with an older
system, don't buy a new mac. it's much cheaper. the drawback is you may
not be able to run the latest and greatest software. however, you
mentioned photoshop - that still works on powerpc macs, so no problem
there.
