How long will you support Gx?

I'm about to buy an iMac, and obviously have a choice of a G5 or an Intel. Because my clients are mostly PC-based, I have to use MS office. MS does not plan to release a universal of Office, but rely on Rosetta-- and I've already seen how slowly PowerPoint runs on a friend's Intel. Thus I am leaning toward the G5.

So, what I'm asking all my major Mac app vendors is: how long do you plan to support a Gx version of your software? Two years? Five? If it's two I'll get the Intel, if it's five I'll get the G5.

How about Bookends? Knowing your plans would be a great help!

Thanks,
Eric B.

Hi Eric,

Hard to predict when the market for Intel Macs is so young. But I image we'll support PPC Macs for a long time (i.e. as long as making a universal binary makes sense). Certainly longer than two years, I would think.
