Although iirc their sales of leopard were really good but maybe the increased sales were due more to the recent increases in market share (new users/new machines upgrading from 10.4 or just totally new users) rather than heavy adoption by the already installed base of old users/old machines. I just recently bought a leopard family pack because my main machine was a G3 ibook until I got an acer aspire one to hackintosh in February ( because monies to tight for even a refurbished macbook).

Joe,

The $29 is the upgrade price for current users of Leopard. If you don't
have Leopard already, then you'll have to buy the Snow Leopard box set
for $169. Now the question is, will users of Leopard on PowerPC machines
  be able to get Snow Leopard (SL) for $29 even though it will only work
on Intel Chip Based Macs (ICBM)? I would like to have a copy of SL on
hand for when I finally need to get an ICBM as I can't justify spending
over a thousand dollars just to be able to buy a $29 piece of software.
Maybe, once I find out the minimum ICBM needed for SL, I can find a used
  laptop somewhere.
