How come the G5 has 10.2.7? I've never heard of it.

10.2.7 is a G5 specific update, it allows the G5 to even work since its optimized for the 64 bit processor, just wait guys, I've not used it yet but I've heard that the latest beta build of 10.3(Panther) is almost a 2x speed improvement over 10.2.6. You could always obtain the builds via P2P but your not my friend if you cheat apple out of the cash for the completed version.
