I mean, Macs have been on 3 totally different CPU architectures, not counting the various generational differences themselves. At some point, you have to draw the line. This has always been MS's biggest problem. It wasn't until recently that people stopped coding for Windows as if it was a single user OS. Stupid stuff like that causes most of the bugs, and security issues, on Windows.
So you're spinning the lack of backward compatibility as a good thing?
