In the past, Front Row was only included on the newer Macs. Older Macs may now be able to use Front Row, when upgraded to Leopard.

I say *may* because officially only Macs with remote controls are supported for this feature. But, I'm hoping it will work on all Macs, and just leave the control options as an exercise for the user.

Yes, at least pre-release builds of Leopard included Front Row and worked on non IR-equipped Macs (e.g. my iBook G4 14/1.42GHz). I was really surprised to discover it.

I have posted this since robg indicated Apple has lifted their NDA restrictions on 10.5 (as of Wed, Oct 24 @ 6PM).
