Anyway, should I "forget" about Tiger? I want to release my app this summer and I don't think that it is a good idea to drop support of the previous OS.
Some apps are Leopard-only, usually because they require new APIs (like Core Animation.) But I think most current apps still support Tiger.
Or it is OK for Mac world? (In Windows world we have to support at least XP and Vista)
Mac users are more likely than Windows users to keep their OS up to date, for a number of reasons (the OS is much easier to update, Apple does a good job of hyping each release, the new versions really are better than the old, apps require the new OS because they're adopting new features...) And the users that don't update the OS are the ones who don't tend to buy new software of any kind.
It's up to you what OS you want to support, a trade-off between development/testing time and market size.
