[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1185983, member: 24098"] It's kind of a fluke. Windows XP had a very long service life in terms of operating systems. It was stagnant for about 8 years and is still being sold today because of rejection of Vista (although 7 seems to be doing well). I can pretty much guarantee you that if Microsoft had been on as aggressive an upgrade schedule as Apple was throughout the last decade, you would have found the same thing with apps on that platform. While I can sympathize with your sentiment, it's kind of a "you snooze, you lose" proposition. 10.4 was superseded with the 2007 release of Leopard and then in turn, Leopard was superseded in 2009 with Snow Leopard. If you hadn't bothered to upgrade your OS in the intervening years, it should really come as no surprise when newer apps are released that don't support your legacy OS. [/QUOTE]
