Differences from Leopard

 * This version removed support for the PPC architecture due to Apple's intent to support Intel processors.
 * It is also the last version to use Rosetta, and thus the last version to run PPC-only applications.
 * It's Finder has become completely rewritten in Cocoa to use the advantages of Mac OS X. Before that, Finder was based on the Carbon API.
 * Version 10.6.6 introduced the Mac App Store, an ESD marketplace for free and paid programs for Mac OS X.
