Yeah, that was my thinking too. I dont see any mention of Leopard in Parallels website.

Not really. I wanted to try Mac but at the same time I didnt want to stay with Tiger just because of Plan9/Inferno support. I just want to try Leopard features and Leopard version of apps like iLife. > > I would also like to know if Mac is used by a fair amount of people > > for running Plan9/Inferno.

During Bay Area meeting, when I asked about Mac support, Ron mentioned you use Mac regularly and thats what I have noticed in your postings also. Thats really good to know. I dont know when Apple will release Leopard but I would have a Mac Mini right after that. I thought of the MacBook but I thought it will be safer/cheaper to try Mac Mini. Thanks dharani
