Has Apple dropped support for Snow Leopard and older systems, or is it
just being aggressive about the support in the development tools?  I
have a friend at university who is still on Leopard and he told me
that Chrome notified him that it won't upgrade anymore because it is
too old.  IMHO it does not make sense to build / distribute binaries
for operating systems that are no longer supported by the
manufacturer.  Better relegate those systems like Windows 2000 or
Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat.  Microsoft will end support of Windows XP on
April 8, 2014;  Ubuntu will end support of Natty Narwhal on October
2012; and if Apple ends support for an O/S it does not make sense to
go against the stream either.  Focus the limited resources on the
current systems and let users of obsolete systems use the old versions
that were built when those systems where supported.
