Hi Mary, yes indeed it is. The upgrade cycle for mobile devices are 4 times as fast as desktops and laptops. If you by the latest and greatest laptop or desktop, you can be reasonably assured, that system will run any OS or, application with a few exceptions for the next 5 years. A mobile device? Two years tops. I think you can get stuck behind that upgrade 8 ball as easily on Windows, as you can on a Mac. For example, If you were one of those people who were swept up in the netbook craze, and you have your XP running with 1GB of RAM on an Atom processor, chances are, your not running windows 7 or 8 on there. ever, never, ever. haha. This has always been the case with hardware that runs desktop OS's pay more now, to save more later. I mean, a person who had a Macbook pro in 2008, or an iMac from 2007, more than likely can run mountain lion with no problems.
