As owners of the devices, we regard them as Ours personally, and for sure will make the change when we feel sufficient need or compulsion; it is the presumption of foisting it on us regardless that is beyond the pail. I still run XP, I knowi t's old and flaky, I'll move into the Mac Mini eventually; that is my choice, my right to make it in my own time.
JMO: it's the sort of little thing that could so undermine the cred in the buyer base as to precipitate the topple from their market position. From a topple a collapse could follow. Ok, extreme? markets are very fickle things at the best of times, they can't afford to be too complacent about it.

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. On 09/26/2013 02:19 PM, John Diakogeorgiou wrote: > I agree with Ricardo.
