Let's see, Tiger came out in Jan 2006 with support for Intel Mac and 10.7 dropped Intel macs in July 2011, so 5 years? I suspect something like that, though I would not be surprised to see a much more pronounced bifurcation in the OS between AS and Intel with the AS machines getting a lot more features and capabilities just because they have processing power to burn. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger.
