No, because they tie their harware and software upgrades together. You can't get that new OS you want, unless you also get that new machine you might not want.
Ok, someone in this thread specifically mentioned the time frame of 18 months in the thread. Moore's law basically says what? processor speeds will doble, and the size of memory wil be halved, something like that right? Ok, so lets say they start a new OS, timing it's release for 18 months in the futre, they will want to get at least a year or two out of it right? So when they start developing they target highend systems, because they that by the time they are releasing their product these special high end items should, and usually are, the norm. Gellie, you know this stuff man. If you wrote a video game that had to perform as well on a 2 year old system, as it does on a brand new system, it wouldn't be a very visually appealing game would it? -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2007 10:44 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: The Anti-Windows crowd Well.....is each and every Mac OS revision slower than the one that came before it?
