except you're not actually being forced to update Windows XP. You can
run it forever, you just won't get support from Microsoft for it. I
don't think that's unreasonable since XP is so old and MS has released
three major operating system versions since XP. Also, you were still
getting support and updates for XP after Vista was released, after
Windows 7 was released and even after Windows 8 was released. I still
think it's a bad comparison, but that's just my opinion, and I don't
expect to change anyone's mind, so I'll shut up about it.

Hi,
I think its a decent comparison since desktop OS’s don’t update nearly the
speed of a Mobile OS. And either way, the feeling is the same. That’s what
the issue really is here. Your hand being forced to adopt a technology you
might not really want.

Quite a few people are upset with Microsoft for dropping support of windows XP.
Also, Microsoft dropping support for an operating system over a decade old is
not the same issue as Apple pushing out an OS that's only a few days old to
everyone's iPhone. Note that I don't have a problem with Apple; I'm just
pointing out that this is not a good comparison.

I agree with Ricardo. I don't hear people bashing Microsoft for not
supporting Windows XP in the next few months or other old software.
Also most apps have been updated to work with IOS 7. Finally if you
consider the traffic regarding bugs and questions a large part exists
because people don't read others email which has already answered
their question. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't want to update since
overall IOS 7 is better but that's a matter of choice.

Hi,
Not trying to be confrontational but, people force you to do stuff like this
all the time. For example, if you want IOS 7 but have an iPhone 3GS? You
have to at least get your hands on an iPhone 4. You might love your phone
but, you want that new update so you get a new phone.
Or how about internet explorer 10. You want to have access to certain web
sites, your still using Windows XP? You either update tow windows 7 or 8,
or try to use another web browser.
This is really nothing new. The more people that are running the same OS
or, using the same hardware, makes it easier for developers to push out
updates and new content.
Sure, in some cases its a straight money grab. Other times, companies force
the issue because they don’t want to support old hardware/software anymore.
Or, they’re trying to create a more unified experience among their users.
JMO.

I agree, this is absolutely not right. Nobody makes me do anything I dont'
want to do, especially something like this.
If this kind of dictitorial behavior keeps up I'm going to get rid of my

Hello,
For those of you who want/need to stay on iOS 6 for whatever reason, I
come with some bad news.
According to an article I’ll link to below, Apple is pushing the OTA
update to 7 automatically to devices that don’t have 7 installed yet,
with no user consent, and no way to reclaim the lost storage space the
update uses when downloaded.
