MAC OSX 10.5.8 PPC Why no Hamachi Client

Before an admin answers that it is only for the intel based MAC's I know that already.  What I want to know is why is DEV not giving us a version for the PPC platform given that there are still many PPC's out there.  Please do not give me a short answer like "they do not want to " that will not do for the answer.  Do not give an answer "because it is so " that is not an answer either.  Take sometime and get the answer right from the DEV's  THey have NO excuse not to program one for the PPC platform.  They are DEV's it is their job to fix issues like these that is all they do.    It is NOT like they make corp business decisions that is not their job.    I have been a long time user of Logmein.  I Love it it is great but to just cut off a host of people is like the DEV's poking each one of us in the eye.  It is rude.   There is a need for this client.   Please get a great answer not a form answer.  

 

Thank you

I apologize for not seeing this post earlier.

 

In truth, Business decisions reflect the direction in which development effort is applied.  These decisions are not made by the development team themselves.

 

The decision to not code for PPC systems was a business one.  With PowerPC system counts dwindling rapidly, and the main purveyor of said architecture officially divorcing themselves from it, it does not make good business sense to expend development time on it.

 Thank you for your upfront answer.   It is sad that Apple decided to rapidy divorce themselves from the PPC platform as there are a ton of machines that are still out there on that platform.  I Understand any company wanting to push forward with the newer technology, but to leave so many people in the dust seems a bit rude from a company that built their business on serving their custoemrs.  Oh well I guess there is alt for me which kind of sucks to be honest but oh well.   You can close this post.

 

Thank you again

Re: MAC OSX 10.5.8 PPC Why no Hamachi Client

even tho every one has seemed to dissmiss this. i would like to as as mac ppc is a linx bace programe is there a virson of linx out there that you make that would work on a ppc mac.

 

keep in mind true mac users will stay with snow lepord because as the new systems have removed a important peave of code that more advanced users will want and need. 

 

and yes i know snow lepord is both power pc and intel.
