Reverend,

Reverting to previous OS versions is more of a Windows thing; it is not
as common in OS X, except for some specialized software packages that
are not yet supported in a new version of OS X.  Apple, however, does
not sell previous versions of OS X, people get that from third party
venders.

Thank you,

Mark Snyder

Schools are notorious for keeping their equipment much longer.

However here is a twist.

Very often companies will buy new equipment but put legacy OS's on them
because their applications or the vendor of their applications are
behind the curve in getting their systems to run on the new OS's.

I remember putting in new hardware in a Veterinary Clinic in early
01/02.  Vendor of the software insisted on 98SE even though XP was
running pretty good by then.

This is not uncommon.

That is why Windows is still overing and will continue to offer and
downgrade license for XP/Vista with the new 7.  (Although I doubt many
will go for the Vista one)
