Respectfully, I was pointing out that OS X 10.6.8 Intel is quite in use, why it's quite in use, and that it is being updated by Apple (in terms of security updates, java updates, and Safari updates). * If a standalone version of the "Rosetta" dynamic binary translator compatible with OS X 10.7.x and OS x 10.8.x, that users could purchase and install is ever released, this situation might change. Note: Raymond Chen of Microsoft has pointed for many years, that "backwards software compatibility' on any computing Platform/OS is not a game", and also pointed out that was one of the primary reasons that some versions of Windows ended up being the predominant operating systems, even if other Platforms/operating systems were more advanced in some areas.

Apple has also resumed selling Snow Leopard. As Computerworld and InsanelyMac recently pointed out, Apple is supporting OS X 10.6.8 for it's Intel CPU users - As 45% of the OS X Intel users are running OS X 10.6.8 for needed software compatibility (including for any program or utility that requires the QuickTransit technology "Rosetta" dynamic binary translator to run *), this shouldn't be surprising.
