This clearly illustrates Apples marketing strategy!
It does nothing of the sort.
The differences 'under the hood' between 10.4 and 10.5 are HUGE. It
would pretty much require Apple writing *three* iPad support systems
(one for Windows, one for 10.5/10.6 and one for 10.4) to include 10.4
(which is exceedingly long in the tooth as OS revs go) compatibility.
