Why? Seeing that compiling software for OSX/Intel or OSX/PPC is just a matter 
of setting a compiler macro in most cases, I doubt that any new software 
written a year from now will not support PPC anymore. Software manufacturers 
want to sell their software, so it would be stupid of them not to give that 
little bit of effort. Sure the PPC share will decline, but as history teaches 
us that will take a few years more.Besides, nobody's putting a gun to your 
head to force you to run the latest software only. In total that means your 
G5 becomes obsolete in the amount of time you should normally expect it to 
anyway. 

If in a year the G6 PowerMac would have come out, our G5s still would be worth 
a fraction of what they cost in the first place. It's how things work. It's 
called progress. Either you need the progress so you should buy a new 
machine, or you don't need it and stick to what you've got.
