I can't tell if you're complaining about Apple abandoning support for Snow Leopard, or just making a statement supporting why people still stick to old(er) hardware.

If the latter, then I completely understand, and you make a valid point.

If the former, though, then my question would be why would one be content with sticking to old(er) hardware, but not be content with sticking to old(er) software?

Again, not saying you fall into that boat, but in general, anybody protesting this decision should be asked that question.

And it's a genuine question -- maybe there is a valid reason. I just can't think of one.
