3 years is a very good place to work for a dev. Average corporate IT policy is PCs are upgraded once every 4 years. Plus, in terms of upgradeability, Linux and BSDs used in combination with the right software beat them all by a large margin. More like competing with Vista for the title of most bloated OS of these times So it’s likely that lots of macs were not able to run it. But if we forget for a moment how disputable this is (fixed purpose machines which work well in their current setup only need security updates, not feature updates), I’ve heard that Leopard was not exactly light on resources at release time either. Unless, of course, you think that to be usable, a computer must run the latest release of the OS you put on it. Everywhere I’ve ever went, it’s possible to see lots of machines being 5-years old or more, and I can guarantee you that they were not worth $1000 (no serious GPU, 512MB or 1GB ram…). Your company must be very rich to throw good computers away after 2 years.
