At the same time, Apple released Mac OS X Tiger (10.4), the first Mac OS to support running on Intel processors.
This introduced the possibility that Windows and Windows-based applications could run on Mac hardware just as they run on PCs. Snow Leopard was supported in the previous 45 ESR build but since the newest 52 ESR version came out, that is now obsolete. The minimum OS X version supported as of Firefox 49 is 10.9 Mavericks. Snow Leopard users have given many reasons for hanging on, including some identical to those expressed by Windows XP customers: The OS still works fine for them their Macs, while old, show. Because in 2006, Apple began moving away from its PowerPC processors and offered Mac hardware with Intel processors like those used in PCs. I dont think there is a current version of Firefox that will work for Snow Leopard. If you wanted to use the full features of both operating systems, you'd have to buy both a Mac and a PC.īut in 2006, that all changed. A few brave souls tried to take an all-inclusive approach by trying to run both using virtualization software, but even that presented limitations. It wasn't unusual to hear heated arguments between two users about which was the better system. This created a great rift between users of each system. MacOS couldn't run on PCs, and Microsoft Windows couldn't run on Macs. Justin Sullivan/Getty Imagesīack before 2006 (which is like 100 years ago in the technology industry), there was a clear dividing line between Apple's Macintosh computers and Windows PCs. Boot Camp is the software that allows Intel-based Macs to run Microsoft's Windows XP operating system. The Microsoft Windows website is seen on an iMac computer monitor at an Apple store.
