Home Forums FineTunedMac Community Lounge Apple ending Snow Leopard support?

It is MUCH less expensive to support Snowy than XP. I am trying to use in-store photo kiosks and they don't work because their processors are XP. Menus in fast food restaurants are having problems because they are XP based. XP is 'embedded' in so many places. Snowy has extremely limited use, mostly just used on desktops, etc. It doesn't have to be adapted over and over again to niche purposes, more code added to expand it's usefulness. Microsoft really did a lot of financial damage to a lot of people by pulling the carpet out from the things that were built on it.

Microsoft stands to gain a lot of business by replacing the foundation of these devises. It's anyone's call, but PR wise, Apple could come out the 'good guy' by letting people continue to use what works for them. The question is whether they will think that way and use Microsoft's bullying to emphasize Apple's accommodation of their users.
