    By the time this releases (probably August), late 2008 macs will have been on the market for almost four years. They were released in October. Additionally, and as others have pointed out, not receiving the newest OS version does not mean "no longer supported". If they're running lion, they'll continue to receive

    The biggest problems with Vista have long been sorted out, but it mostly had to do with hardware incompatibility, nagging the user about installations, and a myriad of technical problems with the over taxing of the system with animations and effects tha were not properly optimized. It's pretty common knowledge that

    Hahahaha. Gottcha.

    It was never about being the default programs. If you don't know that much, you shuldn't be trying to make comparisons like this.

    I don't wear skinny, little jeans (relaxed fit all the way) and I still find phones that are anywhere near five inches too big for my pockets.

    Making fun of it.

    And? I don't think anyone really cares except people that are looking to gripe about asinine things.

    I'm on a Dual Band wireless N network. I'm not seeing any problem. It takes a fraction of a second to connect, and then it's smooth sailing from there.

    Heard of it? Yes. Had the chance to use it on an actual piece of hardware that anyone I know owns... No.

    EDIT: Stupid broken posting system. Ignore this.

    Give it time. There's a lot there that you aren't hearing about yet. Even still, it's mostly an incremental update.

    Im being pedantic because you're being pedantic. If you want to say that Microsoft doesn't care what computer you use because they don't build their own towers, that's fine. But you can't use "they don't make hardware" as a defense against what was obviously intended as a seemingly ironic post. I took the last line of

    Sorry bout that. Reading my post it looks a little more defensive than I intended it.

    Sorry. Opt-out. But here's the key: Changing these settings is no more difficult than any other setting on OS X. I don't need anyone else to tell me that it's on by default. I'm running the preview myself. The warnings about software it is set to restrict are clear, and there is an easy remedy to it.

    Yeah, darn those "opt in" restrictions and their thwarting user choice!

    Didn't they do that with Lion... Before Metro for windows 8 was announced? If anything I think you have our timeline reversed. But who knows, I may be wrong. It's happened before.

    They have retail locations now. Of course they sell hardware. And they make money on each piece of hardware... Well, they would if people were buying things in their retail stores.

    Yeah, what is this "Window"?

    I don't believe you have any clue what you are talking about.

    Way hearted!
