35?!?! That means Apple has no say that they cannot do Leopard on CDROM.

They won't do Leopard on CD for the reason that they don't want people with lower spec machines installing it. Every machine that meets the minimum requirements came with a DVD drive of some sort as standard. they had to do a CD release of Tiger because there were a lot of machines that met the minimum requirements that didn't have a DVD drive. My Digital Audio has a CD/RW, not a DVD_Ram, not a combo drive and definitely not a superdrive although I could install one of those if I had to. There is no reason to do a CD release since no CD drive is officially supported anymore.

The original Xserve had only a CD-ROM drive.

I believe it is supported under Leopard/Leopard Server.

Kinda weak, I know. Every other Mac could read DVDs though.
