Yeah 10.6. because I remembered troubleshooting dumb issues. Like installers being powerpc. Versions of Office for Mac had an issue like that when 10.7 launched and people were bringing them in because they couldn’t reinstall their software if they had to do a fresh install of 10.7, but had previously upgraded from 10.6… the software was working. (Because the software itself wasn’t powerpc, just the installer)
Apple is quite good with the transitions to a new CPU architecture. However they tend to cut off support for old hardware architectures a little early for my taste.
Not sure, I was a licensed apple tech back in 2011-2013 time period. Never bought their products for myself so I haven’t really played with to much of their newer stuff. Haven’t needed certs for them anywhere else.
Cheetah Puma Jaguar Panther Tiger Leopard
German Tanks, Large Cats, Apple OS’s. Por que no los tres?
I don’t think the Gepard was ever anything but an AA vehicle.
Appears it was Leopard 2/3 that were tanks https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_2
Although I might have guessed the wrong word from Gepard to Leopard.?
Yeah you switched it up. Leopards have been tanks. The Gepards(cheetah) were AAs.
Apple‘s operating systems stopped being good when they were no longer named after cats.
What was that 10.8? 7 was lion. 8 was named after a beach in California if I remember right
Without looking it up my memory says:
10.1 Puma
10.1 Cheetah
10.2 Jaguar
10.3 Lion
10.4 Tiger
10.5 Leopard
10.6 Snow Leopard
Towered was also a Mountain Lion, not sure where it fits.
I think that’s right, 7 lion, 8 mtn lion, 9 Catalina? (Beach name/surf spot or such) 10.7 was when they chopped support for x86
10.5 or 10.6 was the last version for PPC. 32-bit x68 was the architecture Apple has supported the shortest.

Had they discontinued Rosetta already?
