Snow Leopard officially puts PowerPC Macs on endangered species list

It was just a day short of a year ago that we first got a bad feeling Snow Leopard was going to be end of the road for the PowerPC crowd. Now we know the truth, with Apple confirming Mac OS X version 10.6 will require Intel processors, cutting the cord on that rich lineage of alternative CPU support. From here on out it’s Intel or bust — until Apple finds a new silicon suitor it prefers, anyway.
