I'm not sure I agree with it. Without it, then we'd never advance, always have to support the first versions of any software, and never get anywhere. Society, companies, and people all require planned obsolescence in order to progress.

^^^^^^^^^^^I agree that planned obsolscence is bad but I can hardly fault apple for it^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why?

Don't tell me that you'd sit there and say that planned obsolescence.......

Bad when Microsoft does it.
Good when Apple does it.

It doesn't work that way. That's like saying that pork filled bills.........

Bad when democrats do it
good when republicans do it

It just doesn't work that way. Either the activity is bad, or it's not.

^^^^^^^^^^^I will be upgrading the 10.5 as soon as its out on my 4 y/o powerbook..^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So if apple had said screw you and not made 10.5 for PPC models would you all of a sudden be against planned obsolescence?

I'm just curious, I don't understand.
