That might be right. Leopard lasts as long as Tiger has, the G4 
people will still have around 2 years of new OS releases to enjoy.

That seems to fit my personal timetable too. The G4 based 17" 
PowerBook I use at work will probably be replaced within a year. My 
wife's Dual G4 based MDD will probably be replaced by the end of the 
year.

By comparison, my Dual 2.7 GHz G5 PowerMac at home will be just fine 
for the next few years.
