Now that's not really fair. My principle computer is still a G4 - the grandparent of current Macs, and the current OS and all the software I use runs perfectly and fast enough for me.
Apple does leave it's older users behind, but only every five years or so. This allows it to improve in large steps. Windows, to Microsoft's credit, does spend a lot of effort on backwards compatibility, with usually stable results, but their improvements come more slowly, and often the cost is one step forward, two steps back.
