It's not even up to debate that Apple does not support its OS for comparable periods of time as does MS, though.

Many people who buy Mac hardware do so because Apple makes it so easy to update the operating system to the next generation. My 2008 laptop came with Leopard which preceded the version mentioned here. Since then it has been upgradable to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and now the latest Mavericks all with the original spec hardware (no upgrades). Apple even provided Mavericks for free! I am pretty pleased that my 6 year old computer is still running and can take advantage of new modern features such as cloud syncing with other Apple devices.
