Leopard cut the threads on PowerPC, even though Intel Macs have been unable to run, say, StuntCopter (and even then, they should just get the OS X version), since their introduction.

Do Classic applications work with Mac OS X 10.5 or Intel-based Macs? Classic applications do not work on Intel processor-based Macs or with Mac OS X 10.5.
