End of support for OS X 10.4 and 10.5

Why pull support and remove functionality? Why not just drop support -- just stop updating the app but still allow basic functionality? There are still a lot of legacy machines that are still in use ...

Please do not remove Desktop Sync functionality for OS X 10.5 Leopard. In my small studio, I still run a robust web server (XAMPP) and file server (AFP/SMB) on my Mac PPC G5 tower (which runs the highest Mac OS it can – 10.5). Dropbox desktop sync is part of the the equation. I cannot afford to upgrade that server hardware. There is no need to. It is rock solid – it just keeps on going.

I am also curious how far back your support for Windows stretches.
