I feel sorry for those professionals dependent on old software, but the big boys don't care. And Apple is a Big Boy now, no matter what the hype machine says...and they want to make you rebuy your system every couple of years for their profits...

There is no profit in following the old adage "
If it ain't broke,
don't fix it." And you are right about them not caring. It is all about the money, and not legacy programs, that work just fine for the user. For the company's it is more of a evolve or die thing, and drag the consumers along kicking and screaming as they evolve. Imho!
