Ummm... I don't recall ever seeing this dialogue on my Macs.
Where are these applications coming from?

Are you running Mac OS X 10.5?

Nope, late 2005 iBook G4 with 10.4.11. It this a 10.5 thing? I
didn't update due to 10.5 being not much more than an incremental
update with an exorbitant price tag and the introduction of things
that just seemed likely to get in the way. I hadn't heard about
this, but it's another one.

Hmmm... 10.5 seemed like a pretty major upgrade to me, what with Time
Machine, Stacks, Boot Camp, better Spotlight, etc.

I have a backup strategy already; Stacks looks annoying; I have zero
interest in running Windows (and, as noted, have a PPC Mac); and
"better" Spotlight would be incremental, no? So for me there wasn't
much in 10.5 to make it a compelling upgrade. YMMV, of course.
