That's a reasonable, if pessimistic, viewpoint. I personally develop 
on a pair of 8100/100's that are well past the point of obsolete and 
will not run OS X. If OS X looks like a winner (and I do really think 
that it will), I will pop for a G4 and sail on; in any case, I will 
keep one of my current work machines on MacOS and the other on 
mkLinux.
