Let's see - I hope AI is not right with it's 'the last update' prediction this time - it would't really look nice for Apple. 5 years after it stopped shipping or so) is one of the steps a software company has to take to be taken seriously. So supporting a 'previous' release of an OS, at least with critical bug fixes and security update, including a formal commitment on how long this will be done (i.e.

Surely Apple has a more-ready-to-upgrade userbase, but if you look around and see how many XP or even NT4 boxes are still around, you get the idea. App upgrades of that magnitude don't happen quickly and they can be quite costly.
